In Vivo Optical Molecular Imaging of Matrix Metalloproteinase Activity following Celecoxib Therapy for Colorectal Cancer
We present an optical molecular imaging approach to measure the efficacy of the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor celecoxib on tumor growth rate through its effect on matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity. A xenograft model of colorectal cancer was generated in nude mice, which were then randomiz...
