Capillaries susceptible to frequent stall dynamics revealed by comparing OCT and Bessel-2PM measurements

Transient stoppages of red blood cell (RBC) flow through capillaries—termed capillary stalls—occur persistently in neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and ischemic stroke and can interrupt oxygen delivery and exacerbate neurological damage. Effective imaging tools and analyses are necessary to understand the nature, role, and prevention of stalls. In this study, we dissect...
