This study shows that dietary nitrate and nitrite reduce cardiac fibrosis and oxidative damage in tumor-bearing mice treated with doxorubicin without affecting tumor response.

This study assesses acute kidney injury in a neonatal rat model of necrotizing enterocolitis using photoacoustic imaging and finds reduced renal oxygen saturation as a non-invasive biomarker.

This study uses photoacoustic imaging to non-invasively monitor vascularization in tissue-engineered small intestine scaffolds implanted in rats, showing regional differences in vascular maturity.

This study examines long-term neurovascular dysfunction and altered placenta-derived EV miRNA profiles in a rat model with preeclamptic features, identifying miR-363-3p as a potential protective factor.

This study examines sex-specific cardiovascular adaptations to simulated microgravity in rats, finding increased arterial stiffness in females but not males.

This paper evaluates photoacoustic imaging (PAI) for assessing intestinal oxygenation and motility in a neonatal rat model of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), finding significant decreases in oxygenation and motility in NEC pups compared to controls.

This paper demonstrates that photoacoustic imaging can non-invasively measure intestinal tissue oxygenation and motility in neonatal rats, showing its potential for assessing intestinal health in premature infants.

This study shows that sulfonylureas reduce Alzheimer's pathology by targeting vascular KATP channels, decreasing amyloid-beta aggregation and improving vascular function in mice.
