  • Utilizing Annexin-A5's high affinity for phosphatidylserines (PS) expressed on apoptotic cells.
  • Reviewing studies in animal models and human patients with cardiac I/R injury.

    • Main Results:

    • Apoptotic cardiac cells express phosphatidylserines (PS) on their outer membrane.
    • Annexin-A5 binds to PS, enabling visualization of apoptotic cells.
    • Annexin-A5 based imaging provides kinetic and quantitative data on apoptosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Annexin-A5 imaging is a valuable tool for assessing apoptosis in cardiac I/R injury.
    • This technology offers improved insights into the mechanisms and extent of cell death.
    • Further research is needed to fully explore the clinical implications and refine limitations of cell death imaging.
