3D rendered photoacoustic (red) and ultrasound (greyscale) image of the mouse abdomen. Vasculature and gut contents can be seen in the photoacoustic image and are overlaid on the anatomical ultrasound image. … … Vasculature and gut in the mouse …

During development, mesodermal progenitors from the first heart field (FHF) form a primitive cardiac tube, to which progenitors from the second heart field (SHF) are added. The contribution of FHF and SHF progenitors to the adult zebrafish heart has not …

Inflammation serves a critical role in driving sympa- thetic neural remodeling following myocardial infarction (MI), and activin A has been implicated as an important mediator of the inflammatory response post‑MI. However, whether activin A impacts …

© 2018 American Chemical Society. Imaging-guided diagnosis and therapy has been highlighted in the area of nanomedicines. However, integrating multiple functions with high performance in one theranostic ("all-in-one") still presents considerable …

Chromatin remodelling precedes transcriptional and structural changes in heart failure. A body of work suggests roles for the developmental Wnt signalling pathway in cardiac remodelling. Hitherto, there is no evidence supporting a direct role of Wnt …

Background . Contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging has been widely used in the ultrasound diagnosis of a variety of tumours with high diagnostic accuracy, especially in patients with hepatic carcinoma, while its application is rarely reported in thyroid …

3D rendered high-resolution ultrasound (greyscale) and spectrally unmixed photoacoustic (green) image of the mouse hindlbimb. The green color indicates ICG dye in the popliteal lymph node after a hindpaw injection. … … Mouse hindlimb with ICG in lymph …

Resolvins are innate, immune responsive, bioactive mediators generated after myocardial infarction (MI) to resolve inflammation. The MI-induced bidirectional interaction between progressive left ventricle (LV) remodeling and kidney dysfunction is known to …

Chronic excessive drinking leads to myocardial contractile dysfunction and dilated cardiomyopathy, where ethanol toxicity plays an essential role. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenases metabolize arachidonic acids to form epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), …

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an emerging biomedical imaging technology, which can potentially be used in the clinic to preoperatively measure melanoma thickness and guide biopsy depth and sample location. We recruited 27 patients with pigmented …
