People with the disorder seem to have more active immune

To overcome these problems, Min and his team developed a new modality to visualize glucose uptake

cells, tumor xenograft tissues, primary neurons and mouse
brain tissues.
One extension of MRI called functional MRI can spot which
brain areas are most active, but until now there hasn't been a high - resolution method for detecting enzyme
activity — essentially a measure of what genes are turned on
inside a
cell.
