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 ...

In biomedical research, so-called organs-on-a-chip, also referred to as microphysiological systems, are becoming increasingly ...

Engineers from Texas A University (TAMU) have developed a groundbreaking tiny chip that mimics real human blood vessels, ...

Abstract: Automated detection of blood vessel structures is becoming a crucial interest for better management of vascular disease. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for vessel segmentation in ...

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is when your blood travels through blood vessels with more force than is considered healthy. When blood pressure is high, it can damage artery and blood ...

which line the walls of blood vessels. These cells tighten or relax to control how much blood can flow through the vessels. When they tighten too much, blood pressure goes up; when they relax ...

Billy Evans, partner of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, is working on a new startup that seeks to deliver “human health optimization” through blood testing, according to The New York Times.

Blood clots begin forming when a blood vessel is damaged and nearby cell fragments (called platelets) begin clumping together and adhering to a protein in the blood known as fibrin, explains Dr ...

JUST one energy drink or sugar-free soda containing a key ingredient could damage the brain and blood vessels, researchers have claimed. American scientists linked a common sugar substitute to a ...
