Researchers have discovered that a certain type of cell that sits on top of the brain's smallest blood vessels senses when their brain region needs energy. When glucose levels are low, these cells ...
Standard Imaging Captures Only a Fraction of It The Endothelial Glycocalyx: A Microscopic Lining That Helps Regulate How Blood Moves Through the Smallest Vessels How Patented Microfluidic Chip ...
Researchers have shown how the brain communicates to blood vessels when in need of energy, and how these blood vessels respond by relaxing or constricting to direct blood flow to specific brain ...
How do blood vessels stay strong, flexible, and responsive to the body's changing need for oxygen and nutrients? The answer ...
An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is an abnormal joining of an artery and a vein. If an AVF is affecting health, early treatment can help prevent complications. An AVF occurs if an artery connects to a ...
A new method for imaging blood circulation and the flow within blood vessels could lead to faster and more precise assessments of capillary dynamics. In particular it should help the understanding of ...
When we smell hot dogs, it may trigger memories of backyard barbeques or attending baseball games during childhood. During this process, the areas of the brain that control smell and long-term memory ...
