Therapy-induced hypoxia drives changes in the tumor microenvironment that contribute to the poor response to therapy. Hypoxia is capable of driving the expression and/or activation of specific signaling cascades (e.g., c-Met, Axl, CTGF), the recruitment of tumor promoting immune cells, and the induction of cell survival pathways including autophagy (Phan et al., 2013; Hu et al., 2012; Ye et al....

objective(s):the objective of this study was to investigate the interaction of daunorubicin (dnr) and cardiac myosin (cm) and the changes in mice hearts to exhibit dnr-induced cardiotoxicity . materials and methods:the interaction between dnr and cm was expressed using fluorescence quenching at ph 4.0-9.0 and 15-37 °c. dnr-induced cardiotoxicity was studied using in vivo experiment.  forty grou...

Bioluminescence tomography (BLT) is a new molecular imaging mode, which is being actively developed to reveal molecular and cellular signatures as labeled by bioluminescent probes in a living small animal. This technology can help diagnose diseases, evaluate therapies, and facilitate drug development with mouse models. In this paper, we describe in vivo mouse experiments with BLT, and propose t...

Aspartame (a-Laspartyl-L-phenylalanine 1-methylester) is a dipeptide low-calorie artificial sweetener that is widely used as a nonnutritive sweetener in foods and drinks. The safety of aspartame and its metabolic breakdown products (phenylalanine, aspartic acid and methanol) was investigated in vivo using chromosomal aberration (CA) test and sister chromatid exchange (SCE) test in the bone marr...

GOODRIDGE, ALAN G., AND ERIC G. BALL. L$oganesis in the pigeon: in vivo studies. Am. J, Physiol. 2 I 3 (I) : 2 45-249. x g67,-Glucose-W4C was injected into fasted-refed pigeons and the amount of 14C incorporated into the fatty acids of liver, adipose tissue, and blood was determined at intervals thereafter up to 2 hr. Blood glucose and its radioactivity were monitored throughout the experiment....

We describe a technique that uses biocompatible chemical agents to enhance both the sensitivity and the resolution of in vivo imaging with low-level light-emitting probes. We demonstrate experimentally, with chemiluminescence (CL) imaging in vitro as an example, that the detected intensity of CL from treated 3-mm-thick skin tissue is approximately fivefold stronger than that from untreated skin...

We show that phase-conjugation by three-wave mixing allows turbidity suppression through biological tissues with thicknesses up to 5 mm, at a near-infrared wavelength included in the therapeutic window. Because of the ultrafast character of the imaging process, a motion of the tissue, which mimics in vivo imaging, can be exploited to significantly improve the signal-to-noise ratio and the resol...
