The survival of tissues and organs relies on an adequate supply of oxygen. Tissue oxygen tension (ptiO2) provides a direct measurement of the balance between oxygen supply (by the blood) and metabolic oxygen consumption (by the tissue), i.e. a readout of oxygen availability at the cellular level. On Demand
In this journal article published in early February 2020 titled “Sight and switch off: Nerve density visualization for interventions targeting nerves in prostate cancer” in Science Advances, Huijuan You et al. discuss the development of their novel superparamagnetic iron oxide nerve peptide nanoparticles (PSN NPs) to image and quantify nerve density in a mouse

There are a variety of ways that researchers today can measure oxygenation of tissue in vivo. Unfortunately, while a range of options do exist, choosing which technology to use to measure tissue oxygenation is often difficult, even to those who have years of experience in the field. Here, we cover the four most prominent ways
A team of researchers and clinicians at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health are investigating ways to reduce the incidence of kidney injury resulting from heart surgery and sepsis. Acute kidney injury is when our kidneys suddenly stop working. This happens in up to 30% of patients after heart surgery. Up to
Animal models of stroke and hemorrhagic shock are widely used to develop and assess different life-saving treatments. With stroke, it is essential to restore blood flow and oxygen to the brain to prevent associated morbidity. In hemorrhagic shock, priorities include attenuating blood loss and restoring blood volume and pressure. Thus, blood perfusion and tissue
