Toxicological Analysis by Assessment of Vascularization and Cell Viability Using the Chicken’s Chorioallantoic Membrane (CAM Assay)
This paper presents a promising alternative in animal experimentation - the CAM assay using hen's eggs. The CAM provides a suitable environment for xenograft implantation, enabling the growth of human tumors. Evaluating therapeutic agents for efficacy and toxicity...
Antagonistic Functions of Androgen Receptor and NF-κB in Prostate Cancer—Experimental and Computational Analyses
Prostate cancer is very frequent and is, in many countries, the third-leading cause of cancer-related death in men. While early diagnosis and treatment by surgical removal are often curative, metastasizing prostate cancer has a very bad prognosis. Based on the...
The Chick Embryo Xenograft Model for Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma: A Cost and Time Efficient 3Rs Model for Drug Target Evaluation
Malignant pleural mesothelioma is a cancer of the lung lining, normally caused by asbestos, that develops decades after exposure. Chemotherapy, and recently more targeted drugs, show some benefit although only a minority of patients respond and invariably the cancer...
Explainable AI für die KI-Validierung in der aseptischen Arzneimittelproduktion
Während künstliche Intelligenz in verschiedensten Unternehmen bereits erfolgreich eingesetzt wird, findet sie in hochregulierten Bereichen wie der pharmazeutischen Industrie bisher kaum Anwendung. Der Hauptgrund dafür ist die nach wie vor unklare Vorgehensweise bei...
IKOSA® CAM Assay Application to Quantify Blood Vessels on Chick Chorioallantoic Membrane (CAM)
Among in vivo angiogenesis assays, chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay has allowed meaningful progress in elucidating the mechanism of the vasoproliferative response to several pro- and antiangiogenic factors, thanks to its low costs, relatively easy...
A Novel Artificial Intelligence-Based Approach for Quantitative Assessment of Angiogenesis in the Ex Ovo CAM Model
Angiogenesis is a highly regulated process. It promotes tissue regeneration and contributes to tumor growth. Existing therapeutic concepts interfere with different steps of angiogenesis. The quantification of the vasculature is of crucial importance for research on...
A 3D In Vivo Model for Studying Human Renal Cystic Tissue and Mouse Kidney Slices
(1) Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a frequent monogenic disorder that leads to progressive renal cyst growth and renal failure. Strategies to inhibit cyst growth in non-human cyst models have often failed in clinical trials. There...
ESWT Diminishes Axonal Regeneration following Repair of the Rat Median Nerve with Muscle-In-Vein Conduits but Not after Autologous Nerve Grafting
Investigations reporting positive effects of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) on nerve regeneration are limited to the rat sciatic nerve model. The effects of ESWT on muscle-in-vein conduits (MVCs) have also not been investigated yet. This study aimed to...
Deep Learning-Based Image Analysis for the Quantification of Tumor-Induced Angiogenesis in the 3D In Vivo Tumor Model—Establishment and Addition to Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI)
(1) Background: angiogenesis plays an important role in the growth and metastasis of tumors. We established the CAM assay application, an image analysis software of the IKOSA platform by KML Vision, for the quantification of blood vessels with the in ovo...
