Abstract
The recruitment of new blood vessels in living tissues is essential for the pathogenesis and prognosis of organ disorders.The present study is concerned with intravital observations of newly formed vascular network in mouse brain, using fluo-rescence video-imaging. This visualization technique is a useful tool to study morphology and physiology of the newly developed vessels. The information obtained from the video-image includes the morphology of vascular network, the time required to develop blood vessels, and the velocity of red blood cells flowing in blood vessels.
