We report here on orthogonal polarization spectral (OPS) imaging, a new method for imaging the microcirculation using reflected light that allows imaging of the microcirculation noninvasively ...

We found that axial stretch activated Akt, which up-regulated Ankrd2 expression through NF-kappaB. However, stretch in the orthogonal direction to the muscle fibers activated Ras-GTP, Raf-1, and ...
