Advances in multimodality imaging to increase our understanding of the inflammation’s role in healthy and diseased tissue
- Nicola Belcari (University of Pisa, Department of Physics)
Inflammation is a critical factor in a spectrum of diseases, spanning from primary immune-mediated inflammatory conditions to prevalent disorders such as cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, and neurodegenerative processes. Yet, our understanding of the complex mechanisms driving immune responses remains limited, primarily due to a scarcity of cellular and molecular insights obtained...
This presentation will highlight recent developments in imaging inflammation using advanced optical methods across macroscopic and microscopic scales. We will delve into hyperspectral imaging (HSI), which captures spatial and spectral data concurrently, and its application in various inflammatory conditions, including rheumatoid, psoriatic, and osteoarthritis, as well as graft-versus-host...
β-cell failure in both Type-1 and Type-2 Diabetes is intricately linked to the inflammatory cascade mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines. To analyze the molecular intricacies underlying cytokine-induced β-cell dysfunction, we employed advanced super-resolution optical microscopy techniques. Specifically, we utilized Expansion Microscopy (ExM), a groundbreaking method enabling nanoscale...
Euro-BioImaging ERIC is a European Research Infrastructure Consortium and an ESFRI Landmark that provides open access to imaging technologies, training, and data services in biological and biomedical imaging. Euro-BioImaging contributes to crucial societal challenges by actively participating in EU-funded projects, such as ISIDORe, to provide the scientific community with access to...
