Small mammalian animal models of heart disease.
There is an urgent clinical need to develop new therapeutic approaches for treating cardiovascular disease, but the biology of cardiovascular regeneration is complex. Model systems are required to advance our understanding of the pathogenesis, progression, and mechanisms underlying cardiovascular disease as well as to test therapeutic approaches to regenerate tissue and restore cardiac function...
متن کاملElastography imaging of small animal oncology models: a feasibility study.
To test the feasibility of applying ultrasonic elastography on small animal oncology models, experiments were performed in vitro and in situ on murine mammary lesions induced exogenously by tumor cell line 66.3. In vitro studies involved three 1-week-old excised tumors embedded in a phantom block with ultrasonic properties similar to those of soft biologic tissues. In situ studies involved five...
متن کاملDesign of Small Animal Computed Tomography Imaging for in vitro and in vivo Studies
Introduction: Mini Computed Tomography (mini-CT) was suggested in biomedical research to investigate tissues and small animals. We present designed and built a mini x-ray computed tomography (mini-CT) for small animals as well as industrial component imaging. Materials and Methods: The system used in this study includes a X-ray tube 20kV to 160kV and a flat pa...
متن کاملImaging of Small Animal Peripheral Artery Disease Models: Recent Advancements and Translational Potential
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a broad disorder encompassing multiple forms of arterial disease outside of the heart. As such, PAD development is a multifactorial process with a variety of manifestations. For example, aneurysms are pathological expansions of an artery that can lead to rupture, while ischemic atherosclerosis reduces blood flow, increasing the risk of claudication, poor wound...
متن کاملImaging techniques for small animal models of pulmonary disease: MR microscopy.
In vivo magnetic resonance microscopy (MRM) of the small animal lung has become a valuable research tool, especially for preclinical studies. MRM offers a noninvasive and nondestructive tool for imaging small animals longitudinally and at high spatial resolution. We summarize some of the technical and biologic problems and solutions associated with imaging the small animal lung and describe sev...
