• Image-based assessment of microvascular function and structure in collagen XV- and XVIII-deficient mice 

      Brekke, Cecilie; Løkka, Guro; Heljäsvaara, Ritva; Taxt, Torfinn; Pavlin, Tina; Sormunen, Raija T.; Pihlajaniemi, Taina; Curry, Fitz-Roy E.; Tenstad, Olav; Reed, Rolf K. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-01)
      Collagen XV and XVIII are ubiquitous constituents of basement membranes. We aimed to study the physiological roles of these two components of the permeability barrier non-invasively in striated muscle in mice deficient in ...
    • Increased microvascular permeability in mice lacking Epac1 (Rapgef3) 

      Kopperud, Reidun Kristin; Rygh, Cecilie Brekke; Karlsen, Tine Veronica; Krakstad, Camilla; Kleppe, Rune; Høivik, Erling Andre; Bakke, Marit; Tenstad, Olav; Selheim, Frode; Liden, Åsa; Madsen, Lise; Pavlin, Tina; Taxt, Torfinn; Kristiansen, K.; Curry, FE; Reed, Rolf K.; Doskeland, Stein Ove (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-02)
      Aim: Maintenance of the blood and extracellular volume requires tight control of endothelial macromolecule permeability, which is regulated by cAMP signalling. This study probes the role of the cAMP mediators rap guanine ...
    • Loss or mislocalization of aquaporin-4 affects diffusion properties and intermediary metabolism in gray matter of mice 

      Pavlin, Tina; Nagelhus, Erlend Arnulf; Brekken, Christian; Eyjolfsson, Elvar M.; Thoren, Anna; Haraldseth, Olav; Sonnewald, Ursula; Ottersen, Ole Petter; Håberg, Asta (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-01)
      The first aim of this study was to determine how complete or perivascular loss of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) water channels affects membrane permeability for water in the mouse brain grey matter in the steady state. Time-dependent ...
    • Multimodal imaging of gliomas in the context of evolving cellular and molecular therapies 

      Keunen, Olivier; Taxt, Torfinn; Grüner, Renate; Lund-Johansen, Morten; Tonn, Joerg-Christian; Pavlin, Tina; Bjerkvig, Rolf; Niclou, Simone P.; Thorsen, Frits Alan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-30)
      The vastmajority ofmalignant gliomas relapse after surgery and standard radio-chemotherapy. Novelmolecular and cellular therapies are thus being developed, targeting specific aspects of tumor growth.While histopathology ...
    • Multimodal Imaging of Orthotopic Mouse Model of Endometrial Carcinoma 

      Haldorsen, Ingfrid S.; Popa, Mihaela Lucia; Fonnes, Tina; Brekke, Njål; Kopperud, Reidun Kristin; Visser, Nicole C.; Rygh, Cecilie Brekke; Pavlin, Tina; Salvesen, Helga Birgitte; McCormack, Emmet; Krakstad, Camilla (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-08-07)
      Background: Orthotopic endometrial cancer models provide a unique tool for studies of tumour growth and metastatic spread. Novel preclinical imaging methods also have the potential to quantify functional tumour characteristics ...
