The method presented here uses simultaneous positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. In the cerebral hypoxia-ischemia model, dynamic changes in diffusion and glucose metabolism occur during and after injury. The evolving and irreproducible damage in this model necessitates simultaneous acquisition if meaningful multi-modal imaging data are to be acquired.

A method of functional imaging of mouse brown adipose tissue (BAT) is described in which cold-stimulated uptake of 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in BAT is non-invasively assessed with a standardized micro-PET/CT protocol. This method is robust and sensitive to detect differences in BAT activities in mouse models.

Source: Chaney, A. M., et.al. PET Imaging of Neuroinflammation Using [11C]DPA-713 in a Mouse Model of Ischemic Stroke. J. Vis. Exp. (2018). This video demonstrates a technique for in vivo imaging of neuroinflammation in a mouse model of ischemic stroke using a TSPO-specific radiotracer. Following injection, the radiotracer binds to TSPO, a protein located on the outer mitochondrial membrane and overexpressed in activated immune cells. A PET/CT scanner detects the radiotracer's distribution and...

FAQs
Layer interfaces are the main control points for combining otherwise different material properties. Adhesive bonding, heat, or surface treatment joins the layers and helps create a continuous composite structure. The resulting interface can restrict moisture and gas transfer while allowing the laminate to retain the strength, flexibility, and dimensional stability needed for a particular bioengineering or manufacturing application.
Engineers can balance mechanical performance, chemical resistance, optical properties, controlled permeability, and flexibility by selecting compatible layers and coatings. Increasing protection may affect handling or optical behavior, while adding flexibility can change dimensional stability. This design approach allows the laminate to be tailored to biological, packaging, device, or laboratory requirements rather than relying on one material property alone.
These joining approaches determine how effectively the layers function as one composite material. Adhesive bonding and heat provide routes for attaching layers, while surface treatment modifies the interface to support layer integration. The selected approach influences whether the finished laminate preserves its intended barrier behavior, mechanical durability, flexibility, and compatibility with downstream manufacturing or biological requirements.
Protection comes from the combined action of barrier layers and the interfaces between them. These features limit moisture and gas transfer through the multilayer structure, while the PET film contributes dimensional stability. Engineers can therefore use the laminate when an application requires a controlled permeability profile rather than unrestricted transfer, particularly in protective packaging and bioengineering barriers.
A practical workflow begins by identifying the required balance of strength, flexibility, protection, chemical resistance, optical behavior, and permeability. Engineers then select PET film together with suitable polymers, coatings, or barrier layers. The layers are joined using adhesive bonding, heat, or surface treatment, followed by checking whether the composite matches the intended biological or manufacturing requirements.
Researchers may choose these laminates when a project needs durable, protective material with controlled permeability and stable dimensions. The overview identifies sterile packaging, protective barriers, device construction, and laboratory platforms as relevant uses. Their value comes from combining several functions in one layered material, allowing the design to address both manufacturing demands and biological or handling requirements.
In sterile packaging and protective barriers, the laminate can combine mechanical durability with resistance to unwanted moisture and gas transfer. Its layered construction also permits adjustment of flexibility, chemical resistance, and optical properties. These characteristics help engineers design packaging or barrier materials that protect contents while remaining compatible with the dimensional and manufacturing requirements of the application.
For device construction and laboratory platforms, PET laminates provide a way to integrate structural support with tailored surface and barrier behavior. Engineers can adjust the layer combination to meet requirements for durability, flexibility, optical properties, chemical resistance, or permeability. This versatility makes the material relevant where a platform must remain stable while meeting biological or manufacturing constraints.
