In vivo imaging of vessel diameter, size, and density: a comparative study between MRI and histology.
The aim of this study was to compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histological estimates of the mean vessel diameter (mVD), the vessel density (Density), and the vessel size index (VSI) obtained in the same tumor-bearing animals. Twenty-seven rats bearing intracranial glioma (C6 or RG2) were imaged by MRI. Changes in transverse relaxations (ΔR 2* and R(2)) were induced by the injection ...
متن کاملLymph flow regulates collecting lymphatic vessel maturation in vivo.
Fluid shear forces have established roles in blood vascular development and function, but whether such forces similarly influence the low-flow lymphatic system is unknown. It has been difficult to test the contribution of fluid forces in vivo because mechanical or genetic perturbations that alter flow often have direct effects on vessel growth. Here, we investigated the functional role of flow ...
متن کاملVessel size imaging reveals pathological changes of microvessel density and size in acute ischemia.
The aim of this study was to test the feasibility of vessel size imaging with precise evaluation of apparent diffusion coefficient and cerebral blood volume and to apply this novel technique in acute stroke patients within a pilot group to observe the microvascular responses in acute ischemic tissue. Microvessel density-related quantity Q and mean vessel size index (VSI) were assessed in 9 heal...
متن کاملAntagonism and synergy between extracellular BMP modulators Tsg and BMPER balance blood vessel formation.
Growth and regeneration of blood vessels are crucial processes during embryonic development and in adult disease. Members of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family are growth factors known to play a key role in vascular development. The BMP pathway is controlled by extracellular BMP modulators such as BMP endothelial cell precursor derived regulator (BMPER), which we reported previously ac...
متن کاملGlycogen synthase kinase-3beta regulates post-myocardial infarction remodeling and stress-induced cardiomyocyte proliferation in vivo.
RATIONALE Numerous studies have proposed that glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3beta is a central regulator of the hypertrophic response of cardiomyocytes. However, all of this work has relied on overexpression of GSK-3beta, expression of constitutively active mutants, or small molecule inhibitors with documented off-target effects. Genetic loss of function approaches have not been used in the ad...
