Biofabrication techniques allow for the construction of biocompatible and biofunctional
structures composed from biomaterials, cells and biomolecules. Bioprinting is an emerging …

Imaging blood vessels in early-stage avian embryos has a wide range of practical
applications for developmental biology studies, drug and vaccine testing, and early sex …

Optical microscopy techniques are a popular choice for visualizing micro-agents. They
generate images with relatively high spatiotemporal resolution but do not reveal encoded …

A dielectric waveguide, inserted into blood vessels, supports its basic mode that is being
scattered by a near-field intravascular inclusion. A rigorous integral equation formulation is …

Significance Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) is a real-time wide-field technique that is
applied to visualize blood flow in biomedical applications. However, there is currently a lack …

The impact of fluid flow shear stresses, generated by the movement of blood through
vasculature, on the organization and maturation of vessels is widely recognized …

Among various anti-cancer therapies, tumor vascular disrupting agents (VDAs) play a crucial
role, for which their off-targeting effects on normal vessels need also to be investigated. The …

Background: Handheld laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) is crucial in clinical settings,
but motion artifacts (MA) can compromise perfusion image reliability. Current prevention and …

Significance The arterial input function (AIF) plays a crucial role in correcting the time-
dependent concentration of the contrast agent within the arterial system, accounting for …

Background Vascular disrupting agents (VDAs) are known to specifically target preexisting
tumoural vasculature. However, systemic side effects as safety or toxicity issues have been …
