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 ...

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 ...

An international consortium of researchers has developed technology to enable the manufacturing of materials that mimic the structure of living blood vessels, with significant implications for the ...

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 ...

In his lab, Yuxiang Zhu leaned over a softly humming 3D printer, his face lit by the faint glow of a nearby monitor. Beneath the printer's nozzle, a thick blend of seaweed-derived sodium alginate and ...

A structure once ignored in practice is now influencing how clinicians think about vascular risk, data gaps, and prevention ...

To image microscopic vessels and measure blood flow in the brain, researchers use a tool called ultrasound localization microscopy. It works by using microscopic bubbles circulated through the ...

Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from your heart. They have thick walls and a muscular layer that keeps your blood moving. Arteries can be as wide as a nickel (about two centimeters). They are the ...
