The study used an innovative "blood vessel on-a-chip" model developed by Christopher Chen, M.D., Ph.D., and his team from Boston University and the Wyss Institute at Harvard, who are collaborators ...

Researchers have uncovered how specialized cells surrounding small blood vessels, known as perivascular cells, contribute to blood vessel dysfunction in chronic diseases such as cancer ...

Water flow plays a surprising role in the formation of new blood vessels as zebrafish develop, RIKEN researchers have discovered. This finding advances our understanding of how blood vessels ...

Blood vessels, especially micro-vessels ... Arteries in older brains also appear more twisted compared to those in younger brains, which can impede blood flow, especially to areas further away ...

The existence of two mechanisms means there is a backup if something goes wrong. "If one mechanism fails, the other mechanism will still be running to ensure that blood vessels form," notes Phng ...

Hypotension is low blood pressure. When you have hypotension, the pressure of circulating blood against the walls of your blood vessels is lower than it should be. Blood pressure below 90/60 mm Hg is ...

Importantly, the major biomechanical properties of the heart and circulatory system, including cardiac contraction, ventriculo-vascular coupling, large artery stiffness, and microvasculature ...
