Finally, the printed versions of the Methods Molecular Biology books we contributed to in recent times arrived – shiny nice printed versions for everyone in the lab to enjoy!
Big thanks to the efforts of Candice contributing the chapter “Generation of In Vivo Traceable Hepatocyte-Like Cells from Human iPSCs” to the book “Hepatocytes” (MIMB vol 2544) as well as Ben, Adeel, Chris, and in particular Alessia for the chapters “Genetic Engineering of Therapeutic Cells with the Sodium Iodide Symporter (NIS) to Enable Noninvasive In Vivo Therapy Tracking” and “The Basics of Visualizing, Analyzing, and Reporting Preclinical PET/CT Imaging Data” in the book “Positron Emission Tomography”.
The first two chapters provide detailed protocols to render diverse cell types in vivo traceable by radionuclide imaging. In the last chapter, which is intended as a guide for the new or still inexperienced PET/CT user, we describe the general principles and workflows required for PET/CT image data visualization and quantitative analysis using various software packages popular in the field. Importantly, we present recommendations for reporting of preclinical PET/CT data including examples of good and poor practice.
