A research team led by Professor Takuya Yamamoto (Department of Life Science Frontiers) and Professor Yasuhiro Yamada at the University of Tokyo has developed a novel in vivo system that reveals how ...

A new tool called PHOTON, developed by scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center, can identify RNA molecules at their native locations within cells—providing valuable clues to where different ...

Neurons talk to one another using electricity. If you could hear these impulses, they might sound like constant, rapid-fire chatter all over the nervous system. Heart muscle cells do something ...

A team led by the University of Sydney has identified red blood cell rupture at dying endothelial sites as a primary driver of microvascular obstruction in COVID-19, bypassing the expected role of ...

Scientists have uncovered a new biological mechanism behind tissue and organ damage in low-oxygen conditions like heart attacks, strokes, and severe COVID-19. Bursting red blood cells—not ...

Vitamin D supplements may help prevent the loss of telomeres, DNA sequences that shrink with aging, a large study shows. But the health effects aren’t yet clear ...

In the superficial dermis, dilated vessel proliferation had an aspect compatible with lymphatic capillary, sometimes showing endothelial cells with a hobnail aspect, giving prominence to the lumens.

Intussusceptive angiogenesis is an increasingly recognized vessel duplication process that generates and reshapes microvascular beds. However, the mechanism by which a vessel splits into two is poorly ...

A confocal light micrograph showing blood vessels in a three-year-old zebrafish (magenta: endothelial cells of blood vessels; green: endothelial cell nuclei). RIKEN researchers have shown that ...

imageimageA murine model of endothelial cell (EC) senescence reveals that exacerbated generation of EC-derived CXCL1 is a driver of pathogenic neutrophil interactions with senescent endothelium at ...

In the ear dermis, NRP1 is expressed by both endothelial and perivascular cells, forming cis and trans interactions with VEGFR2 respectively. Whilst the cis EC interaction predominates, loss of EC ...
