Bethesda, MD - Researchers have used threads made of engineered human tissue to weave blood vessels that could one day help repair diseased or damaged blood vessels. "Blood vessels are just one ...

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, ...

Cerebrovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and stroke remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A common feature of these diseases is vascular stenosis, i.e., the narrowing of ...

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 ...

Researchers have built the first-ever molecular atlas of the human brain vasculature at single-cell resolution, spanning from early development to adulthood and through disease stages such as brain ...

Blood vessels are essential to nearly all tissues, delivering nutrients and oxygen, regulating hemostasis, and modulating inflammation. Recreating functional vascular networks is foundational to both ...

Seeing the inner workings of a hand, or the nervous system surrounding the spleen, doesn’t seem appealing to most people. However, “Gray’s Anatomy,” the corpus of medical students and artists for over ...

Researchers have recreated a miniature human bone marrow system that mirrors the real structure found inside our bones. The model includes the full mix of cells and signals needed for blood production ...

Tiny balls of lab-grown blood vessels helped restore blood flow to injured tissue in mice, minimising necrosis. This approach could one day be used to reduce some of the damage caused by accidents or ...

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 ...

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 ...
