Heart disease is a leading cause of heart attacks, and current bypass grafts often fail to fully regenerate healthy blood vessels. Using a rapid 3D-printing process called MµCLIP, researchers created ...

3D printed blood vessels on glass that mimic blood vessel anatomy and the fluid dynamics of blood flow could be an invaluable tool in studying the causes of stroke, new research from a University of ...

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 ...

The protein p53, best known as the "guardian of the genome" for its role in preventing cancer, can affect blood vessels in ...

Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from your heart. They have thick walls and a muscular layer that keeps your blood moving. Arteries can be as wide as a nickel (about two centimeters). They are the ...

A UCLA-led research team has discovered a molecular switch that determines whether tiny blood vessels in premature infants' ...

When adults became angry after remembering past experiences, the function of cells lining the blood vessels was negatively impaired, which may restrict blood flow, according to a new study. Previous ...
