Pre-clinical Imaging Core Highlight

Congratulations to Drs. Ran Liu, Shaohua Yang, and Bibek Thapa for publishing a paper using Pre-clinical Imaging Core resources and expertise.

The paper "Experimental Ischemic Stroke Induces Secondary Bihemispheric White Matter Degeneration and Long-Term Cognitive Impairment," published in "Translational Stroke Research," mirrors clinical observations of post-stroke cognitive deficits and bilateral white matter degeneration. These findings provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying secondary damage and cognitive decline following ischemic stroke. More about the paper here.

HSC Pre-clinical Imaging Core serves as a vital resource for researchers engaged in cutting-edge biomedical studies. Equipped with state-of-the-art imaging technologies such as MRI, PET, CT, and optical imaging systems, the Core enables non-invasive visualization and quantification of anatomical, functional, and molecular processes in small animal models. Dr. Thapa provides comprehensive support, from study design and protocol development to image acquisition and data analysis, fostering breakthroughs in understanding disease mechanisms, assessing treatment efficacy, and advancing translational research.
