Impact of CD11c+ cells in conducting airway lumen on Aspergillus fumigatus conidia deposition in neutropenic mice by Mariia Pavelchenko, Mariia Pavelchenko, Svyatoslav Shalyapin, Svyatoslav Shalyapin, Sergey Portnov, Sergey Portnov, Andrey Bogorodskiy, Elena Bolkhovitina, Vitalii Shevchenko, Alexander Sapozhnikov, Valentin Borshchevskiy, Valentin Borshchevskiy, Marina Shevchenko

“…However, in immunocompromised patients, the lack of sufficient pro-inflammatory immune response often leads to invasive aspergillosis, with current treatments being limited by insufficient understanding of the precise conidial distribution patterns in the airways.MethodsTherefore, we employed advanced imaging techniques, including immunohistochemistry, optical clearing, and confocal laser scanning microscopy, to map A. fumigatus conidial distribution in both immunocompetent and neutropenic mouse airways. …”

Digital measurement of pupil size, corneal size, and eccentricity in Guinea pigs using python compared with traditional OCT by Hao Wu, Zhongbao Qiao, Chi Cheng, Wenting Luo, Ting Wan, Na Lu, Tong Qiao, Yue Di

“…In vivo and in vitro measurements showed that pupil size increased significantly after ex vivo (p < 0.001), whereas there was no significant difference in eccentricity (p = 0.38). Compared to optical coherence tomography (OCT), the method did not differ significantly in accuracy (p > 0.05), but significantly improved efficiency and reduced reliance on specialized equipment. …”
