Researchers have developed a new platform that can replicate different types of blood vessel structures. Blood vessels are less like straight pipes and more like a crowded city road map, with turns, ...

A joint research team led by Professors Jaesok Yu, Hoejoon Kim, and Sanghoon Lee of the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology ...

A newly developed imaging method blends ultrasound and photoacoustics to capture both tissue structure and blood-vessel function in 3D.

How can we investigate the effects of a new drug? How can we better understand the interaction between different organs to grasp the systemic response? In biomedical research, so-called ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered how specialized cells surrounding small blood vessels, known as perivascular cells, contribute to blood vessel dysfunction in chronic ...

The formation of blood vessels is a complex process involving the interplay of proteins and mechanic forces. In two studies, a research team has uncovered new mechanisms in blood vessel formation. The ...

Each year, about 185,000 people in the United States undergo amputation. Nearly half of those are due to injured blood vessels cutting off circulation to a limb. Surgeons can transplant an intact vein ...
