In fact, in addition to 18F-FDG, many researchers, including our group, have reported atherosclerosis imaging probes that target a variety of cells and functional molecules such as apoptotic cells [24], αvβ3/αvβ5 integrin [25], membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase [26], OxLDL [27], lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 [28] and tissue factor [29]. This evidence concerns the gene MMP14 and atherosclerosis.
