The
Albany TIMES UNION features the RPI-Trace3D system - Developed by Badri
Roysam (director of CenSSIS at Rensselaer) and his students, this automated
system can
swiftly map capillaries in a live tumor.
ENGINEERING A TOOL TO FIGHT CANCER, excerpt from the Albany Times Union,
01/13/2003 Page: B1
"RPI professor
and students develop program that shows blood vessel growth Troy How does
one bad cell develop into a cancerous tumor that can eventually spread disease
throughout an entire body? Researchers believe the answer -- which could
lead to advances in the search for cancer treatments -- may lie in the blood
vessels that nourish the sick cell, making it possible for it to grow and
replicate. The growth of those vessels is known as angiogenesis." |

| New
System Created by Rensselaer Researchers Speeds the Mapping of Blood Vessel
Networks in Live Tumors - Rensselaer researchers have developed an automated
system, called RPI-Trace3D, that can swiftly map capillaries in a live tumor.
What used to take days of manually tracing the vessels, now takes two minutes.
The diagnostic tool, in use at Harvard Medical School and at Northeastern
University, is a boon to oncologists who aim to understand how blood vessels
form in tumors. |

|
| Speeding
Up Cancer Research - A promising approach to fighting cancer is to shut
off a tumor's blood supply by preventing new capillaries from forming in
abnormal tissue. For this to happen, researchers must understand how the
blood vessels form in tumors. Rensselaer researchers have developed an automated
system to map these blood vessel networks. For the first time, medical scientists
can quickly and precisely measure blood vessel properties to quantify the
effects of various agents, such a new drugs, on capillary growth. |
