The sites and patterns of tortuosity are dependent on key anatomic factors. These include:•
Anatomic fixation—vascular elongation between 2 fixed points will give rise to tortuosity. 16 …

Simple Summary The recruitment of new vasculature via angiogenesis is a critical
component of tumor development, which fundamentally influences tumor growth and …

The successful delivery of nanoparticles to solid tumors depends on their ability to pass
through blood vessels and into the tumor microenvironment. Here, we discovered a subset …

Abnormal tumor vessels promote metastasis and impair chemotherapy. Hence, tumor vessel
normalization (TVN) is emerging as an anti-cancer treatment. Here, we show that tumor …

Angiogenesis has been known as a hallmark of solid tumor cancers for decades, yet
ultrasound has been limited in its ability to detect the microvascular changes associated with …

This paper describes a framework for automatic brain tumor segmentation from MR images.
The detection of edema is done simultaneously with tumor segmentation, as the knowledge …

There is well-documented evidence that vascular geometry has a major impact in blood flow
dynamics and consequently in the development of vascular diseases, like atherosclerosis …

The 3-dimensional microstructure of a porous electrode from a lithium-ion battery has been
characterized for the first time. We use X-ray tomography to reconstruct a 43× 348× 478μm …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Malignancy provokes regional changes to vessel shape.
Characteristic vessel tortuosity abnormalities appear early during tumor development, affect …

Whole-brain structural networks can be constructed using diffusion MRI and probabilistic
tractography. However, measurement noise and the probabilistic nature of the tracking …
