Area of Science:

  • Developmental Biology
  • Fluid Dynamics
  • Cardiovascular Science

Background:

  • Embryonic tissue development is intricately linked to dynamic fluid environments.
  • Embryonic flow-structure interactions influence normal development versus pathogenic outcomes.
  • Altering fluid environments can profoundly affect cardiovascular phenotypes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review methodological advances for quantifying intra-vital fluid dynamics.
  • To emphasize the assessment of cardiovascular flows in vertebrate model organisms.
  • To highlight the utility of in vivo biofluid visualization for functional phenotyping.

Main Methods:

  • Review of quantitative methodologies for intra-vital fluid dynamics.
  • Focus on imaging tools with high spatial and temporal resolution.
  • Assessment of techniques applicable to vertebrate cardiovascular flows.

Main Results:

  • Methodological advances enable quantitative characterization of intra-vital fluid dynamics.
  • Improved imaging tools address limitations in describing functionally deficient phenotypes.
  • Techniques facilitate the study of flow-related mechano-sensation and transduction.

Conclusions:

  • Quantitative characterization of intra-vital fluid dynamics is crucial for understanding development.
  • In vivo visualization of biofluid flow is essential for functional phenotyping.
  • Methodological progress supports elucidation of flow-mechanisms in living organisms.
