    Predictive modeling of hematoma expansion from non-contrast computed tomography in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage patients

    Natasha Ironside, Kareem El Naamani ... VISTA-ICH
    In spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage patients, features of hematoma expansion can be visualized and predicted from non-contrast computed tomography using transport-based morphometry.

    Vascular endothelial-specific loss of TGF-beta signaling as a model for choroidal neovascularization and central nervous system vascular inflammation

    Yanshu Wang, Amir Rattner ... Jeremy Nathans
    In mice, loss of TGF-beta signaling specifically in vascular endothelial cells leads to retinal hypovascularization, choroidal neovascularization, a pro-inflammatory state within brain and retinal endothelial cells, and an influx of diverse inflammatory cells into the retina.
