Intraoperative intravital microscopy permits the study of human tumour vessels.
Tumour vessels have been studied extensively as they are critical sites for drug delivery, anti-angiogenic therapies and immunotherapy. As a preclinical tool, intravital microscopy (IVM) allows for in vivo real-time direct observation of vessels at the cellular level. However, to date there are no reports of intravital high-resolution imaging of human tumours in the clinical setting. Here we re...
متن کاملIntravital microscopy
Intravital microscopy is an extremely powerful tool that enables imaging several biological processes in live animals. Recently, the ability to image subcellular structures in several organs combined with the development of sophisticated genetic tools has made possible extending this approach to investigate several aspects of cell biology. Here we provide a general overview of intravital micros...
متن کاملIntravital microscopy
In principle, there is little difference between conventional microscopy methods and intravital microscopy; in practice, however, there are significant differences in the way images are acquired and processed and a number of unusual features are associated with the microscope mechanics and other accessories. This note describes the approaches that we have developed over the last few years at GC...
متن کاملHigh-Resolution Intravital Microscopy
Cellular communication constitutes a fundamental mechanism of life, for instance by permitting transfer of information through synapses in the nervous system and by leading to activation of cells during the course of immune responses. Monitoring cell-cell interactions within living adult organisms is crucial in order to draw conclusions on their behavior with respect to the fate of cells, tissu...
متن کاملIntravital Microscopy of the Inguinal Lymph Node
Lymph nodes (LN's), located throughout the body, are an integral component of the immune system. They serve as a site for induction of adaptive immune response and therefore, the development of effector cells. As such, LNs are key to fighting invading pathogens and maintaining health. The choice of LN to study is dictated by accessibility and the desired model; the inguinal lymph node is well s...
