How do blood vessels stay strong, flexible, and responsive to the body's changing need for oxygen and nutrients? The answer lies not only in biology—but also in physics. Researchers at Åbo Akademi ...
In biomedical research, so-called organs-on-a-chip, also referred to as microphysiological systems, are becoming increasingly important: by cultivating tissue structures in precisely controlled ...
A single receptor in blood vessels can trigger either harmful inflammation or protective healing, but scientists have ...
There are more than 100,000 people on organ transplant lists in the U.S., some of whom will wait years to receive one – and some may not survive the wait. Even with a good match, there is a chance ...
The brain relies on real-time delivery of oxygen and nutrients through its microvasculature, which threads through neural ...
UCLA researchers have created the first lung organoids with organotypic blood vessel networks, marking a major advancement in modeling how lungs naturally develop in the human body. The vascularized ...
When some snakes bite, they can deliver a powerful punch of toxin-filled venom that damages organ systems and can even result in death. Annually, around 400,000 snakebite victims die worldwide. One of ...
Researchers at the University of California San Diego have uncovered how a single protein triggers two opposite responses in blood vessels - one inflammatory and one protective. This protein, a ...
