On the quantitative rat mesenteric-window angiogenesis assay.
The rodent mesenteric-window angiogenesis assay permits the quantitative assessment of angiogenesis in adult, normally-vascularized mammalian tissue in the intact animal. Using appropriate optical magnifications, even very small, newly-formed vessels are recorded. The ultimate value of the model will, of course, depend on how pertinent it is to the features which govern angiogenesis in the tissues that are involved in clinically-relevant, angiogenesis-related diseases.
