Professor Edward Bahnson describes a traditional rat carotid balloon injury model to study arterial restenosis and presents a novel methodological approach involving 3D imaging of vascular injury models.
Highlights include:
*How nuclear factor-erythroid factor 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) affects the redox status of cells
*The effects of cinnamic aldehyde treatment on Nrf2
*Evidence for a Nrf2-dependent mechanism of neointimal hyperplasia inhibition by cinnamic aldehyde treatment
*Benefits of 3D analysis of arterial injury over traditional 2D histology analysis
