Researchers investigate which material properties support vessel formation. Using lab-created tissue to heal or replace damaged organs is one of the great visions for the future of medicine. Synthetic ...

3D printed blood vessels on glass that mimic blood vessel anatomy and the fluid dynamics of blood flow could be an invaluable tool in studying the causes of stroke, new research from a University of ...

Recent research suggests that the winding paths of blood vessels might trigger the development of metastatic cancers, a topic gaining considerable attention in academia. A collaborative team utilized ...

A 3D model accurately mimicking the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in a laboratory environment has been successfully developed by research teams led by Professor Jinah Jang from the Departments of ...

A computational model that could rapidly design a blood vessel network for any 3D-printed organ may take us a step closer to transplanting artificial livers, kidneys or hearts without the need for a ...

image: This image of a mini brain tumour (tumouroid) with blood vessels grown in the lab, was taken by PhD candidate Agavi Stavropoulou-Tatla. Tumouroids can be used to study the interaction between ...

Blood transfusions save lives, yet the precious fluid is in desperately short supply, not just in the U.S. but around the globe. But what if transfusions don’t always require blood? A new mathematical ...

A growing body of preclinical research points to the TIE2 receptor and its angiopoietin ligands as a promising drug target ...
