High resolution in vivo and ex vivo images of large rats (up to 350 g), mice and human postmortem tissues were obtained to demonstrate coil functionality and to provide examples of potential applications at 21.1 T.
The type I interferon Ifnβ expression was elevated in the whiskers area of both DA and PVG rats up to 1 dpi.

Consistent with these earlier findings, our results indicated that DEX-treated rats weighted significantly less than those of SAL-treated rats up to 6 weeks after cessation of the treatment (Figure 1).
Myd88 expression was significantly increased in all compartments of both DA and PVG rats up to 1 dpi, but decreased to the control levels at later time points (Table 2).
