Research Images

Dr. Mukhopadhyay's lab uses wild-type and knockout murine models and zebrafish models to study how proteins affect vascular permeability, angiogenesis and heart morphology. The models allow our research team to gain a better understanding of vascular permeability by monitoring it in real time. Here, explore related research images.

  • Image showing the heart morphology of wild-type mice (left) and smooth muscle protein 22-NRP1 knockout mice (right). The knockout mice are deficient in NRP1 in cardiomyoctyes and smooth muscle cells and show enlarged right ventricles.
