Abstract Caged xenon has great potential in overcoming sensitivity limitations for solution‐state NMR detection of dilute molecules. However, no application such a system as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent yet been performed with live cells. We demonstrate MRI localization cells labeled caged packed‐bed bioreactor working under perfusion hyperpolarized‐xenon‐saturated medium.

The reversible binding of xenon to host molecules has found numerous applications in nuclear magnetic resonance studies. Quantitative characterization the Xe exchange dynamics is important understand and optimize physico-chemical behavior such hosts, but often challenging achieve at low concentrations. We have investigated a sensitive quantification technique based on chemical saturation transfer with hyperpolarized nuclei, qHyper-CEST. Using simulated signals we demonstrated that...

Ultrasound and hyperpolarized magnetic resonance imaging enable the visualization of biological processes in deep tissues. However, few molecular contrast agents are available to connect these modalities specific aspects function. We recently discovered that a unique class gas‐filled protein nanostructures known as gas vesicles could serve nanoscale reporters for modalities. need produce via expression specialized cultures cyanobacteria or haloarchaea limits their broader adoption by other...

Xenon is well known to undergo host-guest interactions with proteins and synthetic molecules. As xenon can also be hyperpolarized by spin exchange optical pumping, allowing the investigation of highly dilute systems, it makes an ideal nuclear magnetic resonance probe for such host The utility as a further improved using Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer nuclei (Hyper-CEST), but accurate experiments requires polarizer infusion system optimized measurements. We present design...

The NMR signal of hyperpolarized 129Xe trapped in cryptophane cages different solvents experiences chemical shifts. An encoding method is presented that involves the optimal use reversible Xe binding and efficiently uses hyperpolarization. This utilized nanomolar imaging, subsecond time-resolved studies while maintaining high spectral selectivity.

The combination of hyperpolarized Xe with chemical exchange saturation transfer (Hyper-CEST) is a powerful NMR technique to detect highly dilute concentrations binding sites using RF pulses. Crucially, that pulse strength and duration generates the maximal Hyper-CEST effect priori unknown. In contrast CEST in proton MRI, where system reaches steady-state for long times, has an optimal time, i.e. saturating shorter or longer reduces effect. Here, we derive expressions this length. We also...

Signal amplification strategies are critical for overcoming the intrinsically poor sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) reporters in noninvasive molecular detection. A mechanism widely used signal enhancement is chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) nuclei between a dilute sensing pool and an abundant detection pool. However, dependence CEST on relative size these spin pools confounds quantitative with larger typically making less efficient. Here we show that recently...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and imaging (MRI) suffer from intrinsic low sensitivity because even strong external fields of ~10 T generate only a small detectable net-magnetization the sample at room temperature 1. Hence, most NMR MRI applications rely on detection molecules relative high concentration (e.g., water for biological tissue) or require excessive acquisition times. This limits our ability to exploit very useful molecular specificity signals many biochemical...

We propose a method to dynamically monitor the progress of an enzymatic reaction using NMR hyperpolarized 129 Xe in host–guest system. It is based on displacement assay originally designed for fluorescence experiments that exploits competitive binding product one hand and reporter dye other supramolecular host. Recently, this has been successfully transferred NMR, xenon as reporter, cucurbit[6]uril host, chemical exchange saturation transfer with (Hyper‐CEST) detection technique. Its...

CEST has proven to be a valuable technique for the detection of hyperpolarized xenon-based functionalized contrast agents. Additional information can encoded in spectral dimension, allowing simultaneous multiple different biosensors. However, due low concentration dissolved xenon biological tissue, signal noise ratio (SNR) Hyper-CEST data is still critical issue. In this work, we present two techniques aiming increase SNR by exploiting typically high redundancy image series: PCA-based...
