Automated Measurement of Microcirculatory Blood Flow Velocity in Pulmonary Metastases of Rats

A method is presented to measure microcirculatory blood flow velocity in pulmonary cancer metastases of the pleural surface in rats in an automated fashion, using closed-chest pulmonary intravital microscopy. This model has potential to be used as a widespread tool to perform physiologic research on pulmonary metastases in...

Bioluminescent Orthotopic Model of Pancreatic Cancer Progression09:25

Bioluminescent Orthotopic Model of Pancreatic Cancer Progression

Improved understanding of pancreatic cancer biology is critically needed to enable the development of better therapeutic options to treat pancreatic cancer. To address this need, we demonstrate an orthotopic model of pancreatic cancer that permits non-invasive monitoring of cancer progression using in vivo bioluminescence...
