Research Trends: Recent publications highlight applications of MRI in neurodegenerative disease modeling, trauma-induced brain pathology, and molecular targeting for imaging. Collaborative efforts span neurogenetics (e.g., C9ORF72 repeat expansions), immunology (e.g., CAR T-cell tracking), and nanotechnology (e.g., iron oxide contrast agents).
