Imaging and quantitative analysis of atherosclerotic lesions by CARS-based multimodal nonlinear optical microscopy.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of label-free multimodal nonlinear optical (NLO) microscopy to characterize, and thus enable quantitative in situ analyses of, different atherosclerotic lesion types, according to the original scheme suggested by the AHA Committee. METHODS AND RESULTS Iliac arteries were taken from 24 male Ossabaw pigs divided into lean control and...
متن کاملImaging Immune and Metabolic Cells of Visceral Adipose Tissues with Multimodal Nonlinear Optical Microscopy
Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) inflammation is recognized as a mechanism by which obesity is associated with metabolic diseases. The communication between adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) and adipocytes is important to understanding the interaction between immunity and energy metabolism and its roles in obesity-induced diseases. Yet visualizing adipocytes and macrophages in complex tissues is c...
متن کاملCoherent nonlinear optical imaging: beyond fluorescence microscopy.
The quest for ultrahigh detection sensitivity with spectroscopic contrasts other than fluorescence has led to various novel approaches to optical microscopy of biological systems. Coherent nonlinear optical imaging, especially the recently developed nonlinear dissipation microscopy (including stimulated Raman scattering and two-photon absorption) and pump-probe microscopy (including excited-sta...
متن کاملNonlinear Optical Imaging – Introduction and Pharmaceutical Applications
Nonlinear optical imaging is an emerging technology with much potential in pharmaceutical analysis. The technique encompasses a range of optical phenomena, including coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS), second harmonic generation (SHG), and twophoton excited fluorescence (TPEF). The combined potential of these phenomena for pharmaceutical imaging includes chemical and solidstate specif...
متن کاملADENOSINE IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Besides being a metabolite of nucleotides like ATP, adenosine is a mediator of neuronal function in the central nervous system. Its actions are mediated by at least three extracellular receptors. In this review different aspects of adenosine such as biosynthesis, release, inactivation and its receptors are discussed. It also covers pre- and postsynaptic effects as well as postreceptor mecha...
