Thomas Lai: Globally, extrapulmonary tuberculosis diagnosis is often delayed, as it requires a surgical intervention for confirmation due to nonspecific clinical presentation and a poor performance on diagnostic tests

Chun-Nin Lee: To improve serological diagnostic tests for Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens, we have developed superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoprobes for detecting extrapulmonary TB

Chun-Nin Lee: TB SPIO nanoprobes can provide precise MR images at low concentrations due to their paramagnetic properties without inducing an autoimmune response

Shawn Chiu: Although SPIO Mycobacterium tuberculosis-antibody nanoprobes enable the targeting and detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, they can also be applied as MRI contrast agents for the detection of other diseases

Thomas Lai: Be sure to study the protocol carefully before attempting the protocol, as each part of the experiment utilizes a specific core technology

Yun-Ming Wang: Visual demonstrate of the method can help viewers to understand how to implement the process, especially for some of the more complicated experiments
