Heart disease is a leading cause of heart attacks, and current bypass grafts often fail to fully regenerate healthy blood vessels. Using a rapid 3D-printing process called MµCLIP, researchers created ...

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 ...

As cardiovascular research continues to evolve, new ways of understanding circulation are expanding how clinicians think ...

An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a tangle of blood vessels. It can develop anywhere in the body, but it presents the most risk when it occurs in the brain or spinal cord. An AVM can result in ...

Lab-grown organs for transplant are one step closer thanks to a technique for making artificial blood vessels using 3D printers and liquid metal. One challenge in developing organs in the lab is to ...

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 ...

Hypertrophic chondrocytes are deeply involved in the growth of mammalian bones. Researchers find that these cells transform into multiple functional cell types, including those responsible for ...

Hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, anemia, leukemias, or a low platelet count can cause bruising. A person should contact a doctor if they are concerned about their bruising. Bruising is one of the ...
