3 (Team Full) |
| Open Spots: | 0 |
|
Special Opportunities:
|
Members will earn co-authorship on future publications. Team members will learn how to isolate and cannulate epicardial lymphatic vessels. Members will learn how to utilize data acquisition technologies to design and perform physiological experimentation. |
|
Team Needs:
|
An interest in physiology and the use of data acquisition technologies in the carrying out of physiological experimentation. |
|
Description:
|
Little is known about epicardial lymphatic adaptations to various physiological stimuli (please email for more information). In order to better understand epicardial lymphatic adaptation, phasic contractile response of porcine epicardial lymphatic vessels will be studied in vitro using isobaric and isoshear protocols. |
