Cold acclimation of zebrafish causes changes to the structure and composition of the heart. However, little is known of the consequences of these changes on heart function or if these changes are reversible with rewarming back to the initial temperature. …

Prevalence of liver disease is continuously increasing and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common etiology. We present an approach to detect the progression of liver steatosis based on quantitative ultrasound (QUS) imaging. This study …

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is one of the major pathogens present in burn wound infections. Biofilm formation makes it further challenging to treat with clinically available antibiotics. In the current work, we …

Texture analysis and ultra high-frequency ultrasound in use for diagnosing Hirschsprung ’ s disease …

Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM) is an emerging technique that provides impressive super-resolved images of microvasculature, i.e., images with much better resolution than the conventional diffraction-limited ultrasound techniques and is already …

Atherosclerosis preferentially develops at bifurcations exposed to disturbed flow. Plexin D1 (PLXND1) responds to mechanical forces and drives macrophage accumulation in atherosclerosis. Here, multiple strategies were used to identify the role of PLXND1 …

Introduction: The efficacy of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy is limited. However, the key factors involved in limiting the efficacy of anti-VEGF therapy and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Objectives: To investigate the …

NOX2 inhibition stabilizes vulnerable plaques by enhancing macrophage efferocytosis via MertK/PI3K/AKT pathway …

Background: Although hyperthermia-based photothermal therapy (PTT) has achieved great success in the battle against malignant tumors, various commonly used photothermal sensitizers still suffer from non-selective tumor accumulation, limited photothermal …

Zebrafish is a well-established model organism for cardiovascular disease studies in which one of the most popular tasks is to assess cardiac functions from the heart beating echo-videos. However, current techniques are often time-consuming and …
