Quantitative characterization of articular cartilage using Mueller matrix imaging and multiphoton microscopy.
The collagen meshwork in articular cartilage of chicken knee is characterized using Mueller matrix imaging and multiphoton microscopy. Direction and degree of dispersion of the collagen fibers in the superficial layer are found using a Fourier transform image-analysis technique of the second-harmonic generated image. Mueller matrix images are used to acquire structural data from the intermediat...
متن کاملFunctional Imaging of Photosensitizers using Multiphoton Microscopy
Multiphoton imaging of the sub-cellular distribution of photosensitizers can provide important clues to their mechanism of action in tumors. We have used this tool to study distribution and pharmacology of photosensitizers in murine hepatoma tumor cells dosed with various photosensitizers. Upon photoactivation, Rose Bengal yields nearly immediate photolytic release of lysosomal enzymes, resulti...
متن کاملQuantitative imaging of protein-protein interactions by multiphoton fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy using a streak camera.
Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) using multiphoton excitation techniques is now finding an important place in quantitative imaging of protein-protein interactions and intracellular physiology. Recent developments in multiphoton FLIM methods are reviewed and a novel multiphoton FLIM system using a streak camera is described. An example of a typical application of the system is pro...
متن کاملQuantitative magnetic resonance imaging of articular cartilage in osteoarthritis.
Magnetic resonance imaging of articular cartilage has recently been recognized as a tool for the characterization of cartilage morphology, biochemistry and function. In this paper advancements in cartilage imaging, computation of cartilage volume and thickness, and measurement of relaxation times (T2 and T1Rho) are presented. In addition, the delayed uptake of Gadolinium DTPA as a marker of pro...
متن کاملImaging IGF-I uptake in growth plate cartilage using in vivo multiphoton microscopy.
Bones elongate through endochondral ossification in cartilaginous growth plates located at ends of primary long bones. Linear growth ensues from a cascade of biochemical signals initiated by actions of systemic and local regulators on growth plate chondrocytes. Although cellular processes are well defined, there is a fundamental gap in understanding how growth regulators are physically transpor...
