Bone Remodeling

medical illustration of In the cycle of events leading to intestinal wall breakdown and inflammation common to IBS and Crohn's disease, TNF alpha is a key player. As a pro-inflammatory cytokine, it recruits additional inflammatory cells to local tissue. This illustration was created for a medical journal cover and includes and inflamed a thickened ileocecal junction in the background as well as antibody binding TNF alpha in the foreground.
Next medical illustration of Diastolic dysfunction is a condition in which the left atrium is not able to completely pump blood into the left ventricle. Often this is due to enlarged and/or stiff ventricular walls. This image combines a diagnostic echocardiogram, showing a thickened left ventricle wall with an orientation to the heart.
