How micro-PET images of octopuses may reveal alternative regenerative medicine methods
According to the study, researchers sought to develop a new method to efficiently administer the radiopharmaceutical 18F-Fludeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) in an octopus and micro-positron emission tomography (micro-PET) bio-distribution for assay for the characterization of glucose metabolism in animal, and ultimately human, body organs and regenerating tissues. {read more here}
