More on advances in imaging angiogenesis and inflammation in atherosclerosis.
Advances in imaging technology have provided powerful tools for dissecting the angiogenic and inflammatory aspects of atherosclerosis. Improved technology along with multi-modal approaches has expanded the utilisation of imaging. Recent advances provide the ability to better define structure and development of angiogenic vessels, identify relationships between inflammatory mediators and the ves...
متن کاملOptical and multimodality molecular imaging: insights into atherosclerosis.
Imaging approaches that visualize molecular targets rather than anatomic structures aim to illuminate vital molecular and cellular aspects of atherosclerosis biology in vivo. Several such molecular imaging strategies stand ready for rapid clinical application. This review describes the growing role of in vivo optical molecular imaging in atherosclerosis and highlights its ability to visualize a...
متن کاملAngiogenesis and inflammation in carotid atherosclerosis.
Carotid atherosclerosis is a leading cause of cerebrovascular events. The control of cardiovascular risk factors, i.e. tobacco smoking, alcohol abuse, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes and obesity proved to reduce number of fatal and non-fatal strokes but failed to prevent important number of them. Screening for biomarkers in individuals at high risk of symptomatic vascular disease helped to...
متن کاملCardiovascular molecular imaging: an overview.
Molecular imaging is non-invasive visualization and measurement of biological processes at the molecular and cellular level within a living organism. This review provides a description of the various molecular imaging techniques for imaging cardiovascular targets and their potential clinical implications. Molecular imaging has relied mainly on nuclear imaging, but advances in nanoparticle probe...
متن کاملThe Impact of Gender on the Inflammatory Parameters and Angiogenesis in the Rat Air Pouch Model of Inflammation
Objective(s) Air pouch is a well-established inflammatory model in which fluid extravasations; leukocyte migration, angiogenesis and other parameters involved in the inflammatory response can be measured. In this study, the influence of gender on inflammatory parameters has been examined in the air pouch model. Materials and Methods To induce air pouch, adult male and female Wistar rats were...
