New insights into the molecular pathology of radiation-induced pneumopathy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Pneumonitis and fibrosis constitute dose-limiting side effects of thorax or total body irradiation. An improved understanding of the underlying mechanisms is a prerequisite for the development of effective radioprotective strategies. Here we characterized the behavior of resident and immune cells in a murine model of radiation-induced pneumopathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS ...
متن کاملMolecular Imaging of Angiogenesis and Vascular Remodeling in Cardiovascular Pathology
Angiogenesis and vascular remodeling are involved in a wide array of cardiovascular diseases, from myocardial ischemia and peripheral arterial disease, to atherosclerosis and aortic aneurysm. Molecular imaging techniques to detect and quantify key molecular and cellular players in angiogenesis and vascular remodeling (e.g., vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptors, αvβ3 integrin, an...
متن کاملContrast ultrasound molecular imaging of inflammation in cardiovascular disease.
The cellular immune response plays an important role in almost every major form of cardiovascular disease. The ability to image the key aspects of the immune response in the clinical setting could be used to improve diagnostic information, to provide important prognostic or risk information, and to customize therapy according to disease phenotype. Accordingly, targeted imaging probes for assess...
متن کاملCardiovascular Molecular Imaging with Contrast Ultrasound: Principles and Applications
Methods for imaging the molecular or cellular profile of tissue are being developed for all forms of non-invasive cardiovascular imaging. It is thought that these technologies will potentially improve patient outcomes by allowing diagnosis of disease at an early-stage, monitoring disease progression, providing important information on patient risk, and for tailoring therapy to the molecular bas...
متن کاملOptical and multimodality molecular imaging: insights into atherosclerosis.
Imaging approaches that visualize molecular targets rather than anatomic structures aim to illuminate vital molecular and cellular aspects of atherosclerosis biology in vivo. Several such molecular imaging strategies stand ready for rapid clinical application. This review describes the growing role of in vivo optical molecular imaging in atherosclerosis and highlights its ability to visualize a...
