Intravital Imaging
Until recently, the idea of observing life deep within the tissues of a living mouse, at a resolution sufficient to pick out cellular behaviors and molecular signals underlying them, remained a much-coveted dream. Now, a new era of intravital fluorescence microscopy has dawned. In this Primer, we review the technologies that made this revolution possible and demonstrate how intravital imaging i...
متن کاملPreclinical Models for Neuroblastoma: Establishing a Baseline for Treatment
BACKGROUND Preclinical models of pediatric cancers are essential for testing new chemotherapeutic combinations for clinical trials. The most widely used genetic model for preclinical testing of neuroblastoma is the TH-MYCN mouse. This neuroblastoma-prone mouse recapitulates many of the features of human neuroblastoma. Limitations of this model include the low frequency of bone marrow metastasis...
متن کاملWriting successful grant applications for preclinical studies.
The most common source of funding for grant proposals in the field of biology in the United States is the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Department of Defense, National Science Foundation, and many local agencies are utilized by many investigators. An insight into the NIH guidelines and procedures is provided by an NIH Web site: http:// grants.nih.gov/grants/grant tips.htm. Based on m...
متن کاملImaging windows for long-term intravital imaging
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a well-established technique by which tissues can be imaged at (sub)cellular resolution in living animals. By visualizing various cell types, non-cellular structural factors (extracellular matrix), f luorescently-tagged proteins or f luorescent biosensors over time, many dynamic (patho)physiological processes can be investigated. For example, intravital imaging of...
متن کاملBrain Source Imaging in Preclinical Rat Models of Focal Epilepsy using High-Resolution EEG Recordings
Electroencephalogram (EEG) has been traditionally used to determine which brain regions are the most likely candidates for resection in patients with focal epilepsy. This methodology relies on the assumption that seizures originate from the same regions of the brain from which interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) emerge. Preclinical models are very useful to find correlates between IED loc...
