The agency OK’d an artificial vessel to restore blood flow in patients, even though its own scientists flagged questionable study results and potentially fatal ruptures of the product.

Nearly half of those are due to injured blood vessels cutting off circulation to a limb. Surgeons can transplant an intact vein from somewhere else in a patient’s body to avoid amputation ...

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 ...

The formation of blood vessels is a complex process involving the interplay of proteins and mechanic forces. In two studies, Prof. Markus Affolter’s research team at the Biozentrum of the University ...

The new material, designed to mimic the natural behaviour of blood vessels, could allow for safer use of blood-contacting devices like catheters, stents, blood-oxygenation machines and dialysis ...

Increase in blood pressure and intraocular pressure over time is associated with narrower and more twisted small blood vessels in the retina. Researchers assessed 2089 individuals from a Danish ...

Hemolymph, the earthworm's equivalent of blood, plays a crucial role in transporting oxygen, nutrients, and waste products throughout its body. The aortic arches function as muscular pumps that help ...

While statin drugs are good at controlling plaques in blood vessels, they can't eliminate them once they are established. But researchers may have just found a way to blast the circulatory system ...

A research group at Lund University has studied how a molecular sensor located in the blood vessel wall, controls how the vessel compensates for high blood pressure. As we age, the sensor ...
