Towards Whole-Body Fluorescence Imaging in Humans
Dynamic near-infrared fluorescence (DNIF) whole-body imaging of small animals has become a popular tool in experimental biomedical research. In humans, however, the field of view has been limited to body parts, such as rheumatoid hands, diabetic feet or sentinel lymph nodes. Here we present a new whole-body DNIF-system suitable for adult subjects. We explored whether this system (i) allows dyna...
متن کاملVisualizing gene expression by whole-body fluorescence imaging.
Transgene expression in intact animals now can be visualized by noninvasive techniques. However, the instruments and protocols developed so far have been formidable and expensive. We describe here a system for rapidly visualizing transgene expression in major organs of intact live mice that is simple, rapid, and eminently affordable. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is expressed in the cells of ...
متن کاملWhole-body Motion in Humans and Humanoids
Traditional industrial applications involve robots with limited mobility. Consequently, interaction (e.g. manipulation) was treated separately from whole-body posture (e.g. balancing), assuming the robot firmly connected to the ground. Foreseen applications involve robots with augmented autonomy and physical mobility. Within this novel context, physical interaction influences stability and bala...
متن کاملTowards whole-body systems physiology
The liver executes a multitude of functions in human physiology such as detoxification or hormone synthesis. Consequently, hepatic dysfunction, be it inborn or acquired, can lead to diverse pathological manifestations as for instance argininemia or hypercholesterolemia. To analyze liver function at the cellular scale and to investigate underlying genotype–phenotype relationships, a growing numb...
متن کاملDetection of myeloma in skeleton of mice by whole-body optical fluorescence imaging.
Development of new therapies for myeloma has been hindered by the lack of suitable preclinical animal models of the disease in which widespread tumor foci in the skeleton can be detected reliably. Traditional means of detecting skeletal tumor infiltration such as histopathology are cumbersome and labor-intensive and do not allow temporal monitoring of tumor progression or regression in response...
