Blood Vessels around a Pancreatic Tumor Become Leakier in the Presence of Fasudil

Caption

"We also looked over time at the blood vessels supplying the tumor, using fluorescent quantum dots in the bloodstream. It was remarkable to watch the quantum dots radiate out from blood vessels adjacent to the tumors after Fasudil treatment -- which is an indicator that the vessels have become leaky." -- Dr. Marina Pajic, Garvan Institute of Medical Research.
