Improving the characterization of ex vivo human brain optical properties using high numerical aperture optical coherence tomography by spatially constraining the confocal parameters
(2020-10)SIGNIFICANCE: The optical properties of biological samples provide information about the structural characteristics of the tissue and any changes arising from pathological conditions. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has ... -
Single-cell transcriptional networks in differentiating preadipocytes suggest drivers associated with tissue heterogeneity
(2020-04-30)White adipose tissue plays an important role in physiological homeostasis and metabolic disease. Different fat depots have distinct metabolic and inflammatory profiles and are differentially associated with disease risk. ... -
Correlative intravital imaging of cGMP signals and vasodilation in mice
(2014)Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is an important signaling molecule and drug target in the cardiovascular system. It is well known that stimulation of the vascular nitric oxide (NO)-cGMP pathway results in vasodilation. ... -
Correlation structure in micro-ECoG recordings is described by spatially coherent components
(2019)Electrocorticography (ECoG) is becoming more prevalent due to improvements in fabrication and recording technology as well as its ease of implantation compared to intracortical electrophysiology, larger cortical coverage, ... -
A shear-dependent NO-cGMP-cGKI cascade in platelets acts as an auto-regulatory brake of thrombosis
(2018-10-16)Mechanisms that limit thrombosis are poorly defined. One of the few known endogenous platelet inhibitors is nitric oxide (NO). NO activates NO sensitive guanylyl cyclase (NO-GC) in platelets, resulting in an increase of ... -
Publisher correction: a shear-dependent NO-cGMP-cGKI cascade in platelets acts as an auto-regulatory brake of thrombosis
(2018-11-20)The original version of this Article contained an error in the description of Supplementary Movie 4, in which the final sentence was inadvertently truncated. The HTML has been updated to include a corrected version of the ... -
Deep 2-photon imaging and artifact-free optogenetics through transparent graphene microelectrode arrays
(2018)Recent advances in optical technologies such as multi-photon microscopy and optogenetics have revolutionized our ability to record and manipulate neuronal activity. Combining optical techniques with electrical recordings ... -
Cre/lox-assisted non-invasive in vivo tracking of specific cell populations by positron emission tomography
(2017-09-05)Many pathophysiological processes are associated with proliferation, migration or death of distinct cell populations. Monitoring specific cell types and their progeny in a non-invasive, longitudinal and quantitative manner ...
