These observations support a novel "serial progression" model of TEC development, in which progenitors serially acquire cTEC lineage markers, prior to their commitment to the mTEC differentiation pathway.
This resulted in either poorly growing cultures or cultures of cells that, after serial passage, acquired characteristics of invasive carcinomas/tumors.
The Ktrans values were obtained from serial images acquired to monitor changes in the concentration of a MR-visible contrast agent (GD-DTPA; Bayer Schering Pharma) within each pixel, during the initial uptake and subsequent washout of the agent in the tumor.
The rights to both these serials were acquired by Hammer Film Productions, and the film adaptations – The Quatermass Xperiment and Quatermass 2, both directed by Val Guest and starring Brian Donlevy as Quatermass – were released in 1955 and 1957 respectively.
In the Introduction we hypothesized that the slow serial reading of our developmental dyslexia cases similar to the serial reading of acquired LBL readers may be due to a dysfunction of the left occipito-temporal (OT) cortex and specifically of the Visual Word Form Area (VWFA).
The proposed method has been applied to the parcellation of longitudinal cortical surfaces of 13 healthy infants, each with 6 serial MRI scans acquired at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 18 months of age.
Several studies have demonstrated that serial sagittal, coronal, and axial views allow excellent visualization of root canal anatomy, and the number of roots and canals can be visually evaluated in serial axial images acquired by CBCT at a low radiation dosage.
Indeed, O′ Doherty et al. [11] recently acquired serial whole-body images of 18F-TFB immediately after IV injection in five thyroid cancer patients, showing there was very similar biodistribution of radiotracer from about 15 min to 2 h with major uptake organs being salivary glands, thyroid, stomach, and bladder.
For in vivo BLI, D-luciferin was injected i.p. into mice (150 mg/kg body weight), and serial images were acquired 15 40 min. later, until a maximum signal intensity was obtained with the field-of-view, which was set at 15 cm.
Serial images were acquired at baseline and during treatment.
Single scans and serial images were acquired using a confocal laser scanning microscope (UltraVIEWVoX; Perkin-Elmer, Madison, WI, USA).
