Phase contrast x-ray imaging can provide detailed images of lung morphology with sufficient
spatial resolution to observe the terminal airways (alveoli). We demonstrate that quantitative …

Scientists and clinicians have a keen interest in studying not just the structure of
physiological systems, but their motion also, or more generally their form and function. This …

A combined strategy using bioluminescence imaging, bone densitometry and histology was
used to analyze the bone regeneration capacity of human bone marrow (hBMSC) and …

Natural killer (NK) cells are known to reject MHC-mismatched targets within blood organs,
yet their role in peripheral lymphoid tissue remains unresolved. Here we address the …
