Diffusion microscopic MRI of the mouse embryo: Protocol and practical implementation in the splotch mouse model
PURPOSE Advanced methodologies for visualizing novel tissue contrast are essential for phenotyping the ever-increasing number of mutant mouse embryos being generated. Although diffusion microscopic MRI (μMRI) has been used to phenotype embryos, widespread routine use is limited by extended scanning times, and there is no established experimental procedure ensuring optimal data acquisition. ME...
متن کاملMRI Phenotyping of Craniofacial Development in Transgenic Mice Embryos
Introduction Craniofacial malformations are involved in three fourths of all congenital birth defects in humans, affecting the development of head, face or neck. TGF-β signaling plays a critical role in regulating palatal fusion. Animal model of inactivated tgfb2 in cranial neural crest (CNC) cells show TGF-β signaling is vital for regulating cell proliferation in the facial region [1]. Microsc...

متن کاملFully-Automated μMRI Morphometric Phenotyping of the Tc1 Mouse Model of Down Syndrome
We describe a fully automated pipeline for the morphometric phenotyping of mouse brains from μMRI data, and show its application to the Tc1 mouse model of Down syndrome, to identify new morphological phenotypes in the brain of this first transchromosomic animal carrying human chromosome 21. We incorporate an accessible approach for simultaneously scanning multiple ex vivo brains, requiring only...
متن کاملVascular Phenotyping of Brain Tumors with MR Microscopy (μMRI)
INTRODUCTION: Brain tumors remain among the most refractory of human tumors and their “angiogenic” phenotype or vascular architecture is a critical determinant of their pathophysiology, efficacy of therapy and image contrast in MRI [1]. Traditionally the angiogenic phenotype has been characterized at “cellular” spatial resolutions in terms of blood volume, vessel diameter, fractal dimension, ve...
