Airway Remodeling in Ferrets with Cigarette Smoke Induced COPD using µCT Imaging

Airway Remodeling in Ferrets with Cigarette Smoke Induced COPD using µCT Imaging

by Denise Stanford, MS, The University of Alabama at Birmingham

Ferrets are a recently established animal model uniquely exhibiting similar clinical and pathological characteristics of COPD as humans, including chronic bronchitis but are also instrumental for COVID-19 research. This talk describes a µCT method for evaluating structural changes to the airways in ferrets and how the MILabs µCT can be used as a significant translational platform to measure dynamic airway morphological changes.

Each DNA damage repair pathway leads to the recruitment, upregulation, or activation of specific proteins within the nucleus, which, in some cases, can represent attractive targets for molecular imaging.

For a detailed biodistribution analysis, PET and SPECT are usually preferred as they are more accurate and quantitative, so the question is, can optical imaging become a complementary tool for pre-clinical biodistribution analysis.
