The invention relates to a method of determining a spatial distribution of magnetic particles in an examination zone, in which a magnetic field is generated that has a first sub-zone of lower magnetic field strength and a second sub-zone of higher magnetic field strength. The positions of the two sub-zones are changed, as a result of which the magnetization in the examination zone changes. Measure...

Transporters are an emerging target family with enormous potential, offering scientific and economic opportunities. The sodium/calcium exchanger is an important mechanism for removing Ca2+ from diverse cells. In heart, it extrudes Ca2+ that has entered through Ca2+ channels to initiate contraction, while Na+ enters the heart cell. It is of considerable interest to identify compounds that modulate,...
