Leaky vessels (VIDEO)

Imperial College London

Caption

By injecting fluorescent molecules (magenta) that would normally remain in circulation and taking a series of images over time, intravital microscopy revealed that infected mice had very leaky vessels - with the contents of the bone marrow blood vessels, lined by endothelial cells (green), escaping into the surrounding tissue. The red boxes highlight the areas compared in the analysis and the white lines mark the bone.
