Article Abstract
Intravital multiphoton imaging of the tumor milieu allows for the dissection of intricate and dynamic biological processes . Herein, we present a step-by-step protocol for setting up an experimental cancer imaging model that has been optimized for solid tumors such as breast cancer and melanoma implanted in the flanks of mice. This protocol can be utilized for dissecting tumor-immune cell dynamics or other tumor-specific biological questions. For complete details on the use of this protocol for intravital imaging of breast cancer, please refer to Tikoo et al. (2021a), and for intravital imaging of melanoma, please refer to Tikoo et al. (2021b).

Endocytosis is a critical cellular process involved in many physiological functions, including mechanotransduction. Recent advancements in intravital imaging have led to in vivo analysis of endocytosis, and these tools can now be translated to study the highly mechanosensitive bone tissue. Here, we present a live-cell study of endocytosis in osteocytes, mechanosensory cells embedded in mouse bone.

Introduction: The neuronally differentiated key sensory and regulatory cells of the macula densa (MD) were recently identified to control resident progenitor cells and endogenous kidney tissue remodeling and regeneration. Among the many MD-derived secreted angiogenic, growth, and extracellular matrix remodeling factors, cell communication network 1 (CCN1) is a known positive modulator of angiogenesis. This study aimed to validate and characterize the angiogenic potential and mechanisms of MD-derived biologicals including CCN1 in control healthy and disease conditions.

Understanding brain function and pathology requires observation of cellular dynamics within intact neural circuits. Although two-photon microscopy revolutionized mammalian in vivo brain imaging, its limitation to upper cortical layers has restricted access to many important brain regions. Three-photon microscopy overcomes this constraint, enabling minimally invasive yet high-resolution visualization of the deep cortical and subcortical structures that are crucial for higher-order brain functions.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB), results in more human mortality than any other single pathogen, in part because of the lack of an effective vaccine. Although T cells are essential for immunity to TB, the mechanisms that provide protective immunity are poorly understood. In this Review, we describe current gaps in our knowledge about T cell-mediated immune responses to M.

Background: The perivascular conduct pathway that connects the cerebrospinal fluid spaces with the interstitial fluid in the parenchyma are of importance for solute clearance from the brain. In this pathway, the relatively wide perivascular space (PVS) surrounding the pial arteries provides a low-resistant passage while around the perforating arteries, the solute movement is along the basement membrane (BM), that prevents the free exchange of interstitial fluids and solutes. We hypothesize that this selectivity involves specific components of the vascular BM, which is mainly composed of type IV collagen (Col IV) and laminin networks interconnected by nidogens and heparan sulphate proteoglycans (HSPGs).
