Skoltech researchers have fashioned a microstructure made of modified glass fiber that could in principle function as a tiny lantern for medical probes exploring the interior of blood vessels and ...

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 ...

Layer by layer, an artificial blood vessel is printed to replicate the strength and stretch of the real thing. Zhu, who recently earned his PhD in manufacturing engineering at ASU, played a central ...

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 ...

Mild cognitive impairment is linked to blood vessel dysfunction in the brain's temporal lobes - the seat of memory - according to a new USC-led study. The findings, seen in people with and without ...

Dear Dr. Roach: A recent fall split the skin below my left eye. I went to the emergency room to see if it required stitches. Since I complained of a headache in the back of my head on the left ...

The new material is designed to mimic the natural behavior of blood vessels so that catheters, stents, blood-oxygenation machines and dialysis machines won't trigger clotting by activating certain ...

Scientists hope body tissues grown in labs will become a familiar sight in medicine. Researchers around the world are working to grow heart valves, lungs and more from human cells. They have ...
