The visualisation of living tissues at microscopic resolution is attracting attention in several
fields. In medicine, the goals are to image healthy and diseased tissue with the aim of …

Ultrasound imaging utilizes the interaction of sound waves with living tissue to produce an
image of the tissue or, in Doppler-based modes, determine the velocity of a moving tissue …

We report here on the design and evaluation of the first high-frequency ultrasound (US)
imaging system specifically designed for microimaging of the mouse. High-frequency US or …

Systolic and diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle (LV) is a hallmark of most cardiac
diseases. In vivo assessment of heart function in animal models, particularly mice, is …

Smooth sidewall silicon micro-ring molds have been fabricated using resist reflow and
thermal oxidation method. High Q factor polymer micro-ring resonators have been fabricated …

When cardiac function and blood flow are first established are fundamental questions in
mammalian embryogenesis. The earliest erythroblasts arise in yolk sac blood islands and …

Ultrasound has received less attention than other imaging modalities for molecular imaging,
but has a number of potential advantages. It is cheap, widely available and portable. Using …

Background Congenital heart defects are frequently observed in infants of diabetic mothers,
but the molecular basis of the defects remains obscure. Thus, the present study was …

Polymer microring resonators are demonstrated as high-frequency, ultrasound detectors. An
optical microring resonator consists of a ring waveguide closely coupled to a straight bus …

Connexin43 (Cx43) is the principal connexin isoform in the mouse ventricle, where it is
thought to provide electrical coupling between cells. Knocking out this gene results in …
