'To estimate the functional diameter of alveolar septal microvessels in zone 1, we perfused isolated rat lungs with fluorescent latex particles of specific diameters (0.24, 0.49, 1.05, or 4.0 microns) at pulmonary artery pressures (Ppulmart) that were either 5 or 10 cmH2O less than the air inflation pressure (Pinflat, 25 ...

Here, we describe a simple microsphere-adhesion assay to characterize adhesive cues on living tissue slices, which we use to study pattern formation in neural tissue. This assay was developed by modifying a cell-adhesion assay on living tissue slices. We replaced dissociated cells by fluorescent microspheres and then coated the microspheres ... More
