Abstract excerpt
Noninvasive imaging of specific mRNAs in living subjects promises numerous biological and medical applications. Common strategies use fluorescently or radioactively labelled antisense probes to detect target mRNAs through a hybridization mechanism, but have met with limited success in living animals. Here we present a novel molecular imaging approach based on the group I intron of Tetrahymena thermophila for...
