Cellular Imaging of Human Atherosclerotic Lesions by Intravascular Electric Impedance Spectroscopy
BACKGROUND Newer techniques are required to identify atherosclerotic lesions that are prone to rupture. Electric impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is able to provide information about the cellular composition of biological tissue. The present study was performed to determine the influence of inflammatory processes in type Va (lipid core, thick fibrous cap) and Vc (abundant fibrous connective tissue ...
متن کاملCharacterization of human atherosclerotic plaques by intravascular magnetic resonance imaging.
BACKGROUND Development and validation of novel imaging modalities to assess the composition of human atherosclerotic plaques will improve the understanding of atheroma evolution and could facilitate evaluation of therapeutic strategies for plaque modification. Surface MRI can characterize tissue content of carotid but not deeper arteries. This study evaluated the usefulness of intravascular MRI...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Electric Impedance Spectroscopy for Malaria Diagnosis
This paper presents a label-free and noninvasive cell-counting assay system for electrical diagnostic tests of Falciparum malaria using electric impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Our system enabled a high-throughput test in a compact form-factor by the integration of a microfluidic device and a custom circuit board. Based on the differentiation of dielectric properties between cells and container m...
متن کاملHuman Atherosclerotic Lesions
The X-linked enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) was used as a cellular marker to study the clonal characteristics of human atherosclerotic lesions from females heterozygous for G-6-PD isoenzymes. Portions of uninvolved aortic wall contained both isoenzyme types (A and B), and their isoehzyme patterns were used to establish criteria for polyclonal lesions. Portions of uterine lei...
متن کاملSignaling properties of the human chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CXCR7 by cellular electric impedance measurements
The chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) and 7 (CXCR7) are G-protein-coupled receptors involved in various diseases including human cancer. As such, they have become important targets for therapeutic intervention. Cell-based receptor assays, able to detect agents that modulate receptor activity, are of key importance for drug discovery. We evaluated the potential of cellular electric impedance for this...
