Matrix metalloproteinase-9 activity and a downregulated Hedgehog pathway impair blood-brain barrier function in an in vitro model of CNS tuberculosis [PDF]
Central nervous system tuberculosis (CNS TB) has a high mortality and morbidity associated with severe inflammation. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) protects the brain from inflammation but the mechanisms causing BBB damage in CNS TB are uncharacterized ...

Efficient non-degenerate two-photon excitation for fluorescence microscopy [PDF]
Non-degenerate two-photon excitation (ND-TPE) has been explored in two-photon excitation microscopy. However, a systematic study of the efficiency of ND-TPE to guide the selection of fluorophore excitation wavelengths is missing. We measured the relative

Is fluorescein-guided technique able to help in resection of high-grade gliomas?
OBJECT Fluorescein, a dye that is widely used as a fluorescent tracer, accumulates in cerebral areas where the blood-brain barrier is damaged. This quality makes it an ideal dye for the intraoperative visualization of high-grade gliomas (HGGs).

Preparation and Characterization of Intrinsically Fluorescent Polyphosphazene Microspheres
The novel polyphosphazene and cyclomatrix type microspheres were synthesized via a one-pot self-assembly polycondensation method. Octachlorocyclotetraphosphazene and two fluorescent compounds; fluorescein and curcumin were used as a crosslinker and ...

Development of a Simulation Model for Fluorescence-Guided Brain Tumor Surgery
Objective: Fluorescence dyes are increasingly used in brain tumor surgeries, and thus the development of simulation models is important for teaching neurosurgery trainees how to perform fluorescence-guided operations. We aimed to create a tumor model for

Use of a distant reporter group as evidence for a conformational change in a sensory receptor [PDF]
A highly sensitive method for demonstrating ligand-induced conformational changes in protein molecules in solution is described. The method utilizes an environmentally sensitive reporter group that is known to be distant from the active site.
