Translational Preclinical Laboratory Techniques in Vascular Biology

We have been invited to guest edit a Topical Collection in the Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) titled: Translational Preclinical Laboratory Techniques in Vascular Biology.

We propose a collection of video tutorials on in vivo and ex vivo translational preclinical vascular biology techniques demonstrated by experts in their respective fields. Several vascular biology techniques are well established but practiced in only a limited number of laboratories. The goal of this collection is to streamline the learning of these techniques through video demonstrations that provide clear, step-by-step guidance. This collection will help demystify the complex procedures involved and support broader adoption across laboratories.
