Hemodynamic occlusion introduces a spatially heterogenous confound to activity measurements using two-photon and widefield imaging in mouse cortex, and needs to be taken into consideration when ...

Miniature organs on a chip could allow us to do scientific studies with great precision, without having to resort to animal testing. The main problem, however, is that artificial tissue needs blood ...

Blood vessels are like big-city highways; full of curves, branches, merges, and congestion. Yet for years, lab models ...

This review discusses the key advances and future directions in the field of surgical vascular repair, replacement, and reconstruction, with a focus on the challenges and expected benefits of ...

Abstract: Scattering from blood limits the contrast between the vessel wall and the lumen in intravascular ultrasound imaging. This makes it difficult to localize the vessel wall, especially on still ...
