In Vivo Fluorescence Imaging of Angiogenic Vessels in Liver Cancer Animal Model Using the iBox Explorer2 Imaging Microscope
1 Dec 2017Angiogenesis is a vital component of both normal physiological processes and a number of disease states. UVP’s iBox® Explorer2 Imaging Microscope system provides an effective way to image angiogenesis in vivo, aiding researchers in understanding and evaluating different conditions that stimulate or inhibit angiogenesis in preclinical models and human disease. In this application note, the iBox Explorer2 is used to visualize angiogenesis vessels in the liver cancer animal model.

In Vivo Imaging Systems<i>In vivo</i> imaging systems, including pre-clinical imaging systems and medical imaging systems are used to non-invasively visualize and capture images of live animals and plants. Monitor the natural processes or diseases of your subjects using small-animal pre-clinical imaging systems, including single photon positron emission tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (micro-CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray radiography, ultrasound, fluorescence and bioluminescence imagers. Multimodal systems and software solutions are also available for correlative analysis of organ, tissue, cell, or molecular-level processes.

The research is conducted inside universities, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies, farms, defence establishments, and commercial facilities that provide animal-testing services to industry. It includes pure research such as genetics, developmental biology, behavioral studies, as well as applied research such as pharmaceutical testing in pre-clinical, before human, studies. AngiogenesisCancer ResearchAlthough cancer is often referred to as a single condition, it actually consists of more than 100 different diseases. Microscopy, mass spectrometry, high throughput sequencing and flow cytometry are some of the most common techniques employed in cancer research labs.
