The formation of new blood vessels, or angiogenesis, is an Achilles’ heel of tumor growth, because tumors depend on the supply of oxygen and nutrients for survival. Therefore, for some years now ...

Nature has consistently inspired engineering applications. Recently, a group of researchers drew new inspirations from the vascular network and developed a new type of fluidic system named VasFluidics ...

The innermost layer of blood vessels is formed by endothelial cells, which in turn play a role in the development of diseases of the cardiovascular system. Human endothelial cells are therefore ...

The endocannabinoid system is found throughout the brain and body and plays a key role in everything from memory and learning ...

When biomedical researchers need to test their latest ideas, they often turn to engineered human tissue that mimics the responses in our own bodies. It's become an important intermediary step before ...

In the event of blood loss, the human body has defense mechanisms that kick into gear to protect it from the worst outcomes, but they can only keep up the fight for so long. Scientists have pinpointed ...

Intravenous injections, such as ‘Ringer’s solution,’ are considered representative venous injections administered into the arm’s veins. Each time a patient receives an intravenous injection, they are ...
