Uterine perfusion model for analyzing barriers to transport in fibroids
Interesting work from Dr. You Han Bae's lab at the University of Utah used F-CHPs aid in evaluating tissue perfusion and identifying barriers to transport in uterine fibroids. Fibroids are growths of dense connective tissue that lack vasculature for the transport of drugs to the area. They show that there is a negative relationship between collagen density and methylene blue distribution (used as a model molecule for tissue perfusion). They noted limit...
