Blood vessels run throughout the entire body ... The scientists have revealed that the protein Rasip1 plays a key role in vascular lumen formation. Furthermore, they found that contraction ...

A research team at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel, Switzerland, has made significant progress in understanding how ...

All vessels feature varying lumen size. The lumen is the hollow opening or the space inside the blood vessel. Artery Vein Capillary Function Carry blood away from the heart (usually oxygenated ...

Damage to blood vessels that leaves them blocked or otherwise impeded can leave no option other than surgical replacement. Traditionally, this can involve vessels from a donor or harvested from ...

This "tsunami in the body" is one way a blast can injure blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to structures deep in the brain, says Dr. Ibolja Cernak, an expert on blast injuries at ...

Environmental biologists tested the effects of microplastics on the brains of young male mice, taking pictures of the blood vessels in their brains and observing their behavior. They found a new ...

Using advanced imaging techniques, they observed that microplastics obstruct cerebral blood vessels by causing individual immune cells to become trapped in capillaries. The findings revealed a ...

The study, published Feb. 25 in Nature Communications, challenges the conventional belief that a type of fat called ceramides accumulates in blood vessels causing inflammation and health risks.

They show in Nature Communications that it is possible to track how blood vessels in the brains of mice change over long periods of time. The results begin to give biomedical researchers a tool to ...
