Molecular Imaging is a relatively new biomedical research field that has gained significant traction over the last decade. Using various techniques, molecular imaging allows for the non-invasive identification, visualization, characterization, and quantification of biological processes occurring in living organisms. From live-cell microscopic technologies, such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), to full body clinical imaging technologies, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET), molecular imaging has led to improvements in the diagnosis and management of many diseases worldwide.
In this Virtual Issue, we are delighted to present many of the incredible ACS publications from molecular imaging laboratories across the globe, which have been published in ACS Central Science, ACS Chemical Biology, ACS Chemical Neuroscience, ACS Combinatorial Science, ACS Infectious Diseases, ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters, ACS Nano, Biochemistry, Bioconjugate Chemistry, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, and Molecular Pharmaceutics. We hope you enjoy reading this unique collection of Research Articles, Reviews, Perspectives, and Viewpoints. As always, thank you for being a loyal reader of ACS Publications!
