Tryptophan oxidation via the kynurenine pathway is an important mechanism of tumoral immunoresistance. Increased tryptophan metabolism via the serotonin pathway has been linked to malignant progression in breast cancer. In this study, we combined quantitative positron emission tomography (PET) with

Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNTs) are typically hypometabolic but can show increased amino acid uptake on positron emission tomography (PET). To better understand mechanisms of amino acid accumulation in epileptogenic DNTs, we combined quantitative α-[(11)C]methyl-L: -tryptophan (AMT) PET with tumor immunohistochemistry.

Interictal increase of (11) C-alpha-methyl-l-tryptophan (AMT) on positron emission tomography (PET) can be seen in cortical epileptic foci, and is particularly common in cortical developmental malformations. Therefore, in the present study, we evaluated the clinical and histopathologic correlates of AMT-PET

As social insect workers mature, outside-nest tasks associated with foraging and defense are typically performed at higher frequencies. Foraging in ants is often a pheromonally mediated collective action performed by mature workers; age-dependent differences in olfactory response thresholds may therefore
