Researchers from the University of Southern Denmark and Odense University Hospital have studied tissue from patients with atherosclerosis. They found that many of the cells in the diseased tissue ...

The medications may help prevent further tissue damage after a heart attack (myocardial infarction), according to a new study ...

Animal studies often fail to predict human tissue responses to new drugs or newly developed therapies. Besides generating tremendous costs for clinical studies, it also raises significant ethical ...

How do blood vessels stay strong, flexible, and responsive to the body's changing need for oxygen and nutrients? The answer lies not only in biology—but also in physics. Researchers at Åbo Akademi ...

The study suggests that bursting red blood cells, not blood clots, are the culprits. The microvasculature, the body’s network of tiny blood vessels, is critical for delivering oxygen and nutrients to ...

Investigators from the Center for Advanced Gerotherapeutics at Cedars-Sinai found that aged blood vessel cells play a key role in the development of metabolic disorders, including diabetes. The ...

The brain relies on real-time delivery of oxygen and nutrients through its microvasculature, which threads through neural tissue like electrical wires.

The brain's health depends on more than just its neurons. A complex network of blood vessels and immune cells acts as the brain's dedicated guardians—controlling what enters, cleaning up waste, and ...

Scientists have discovered a method to induce human endothelial cells from a small biopsy sample to multiply in the laboratory, producing more than enough cells to replace damaged blood vessels or ...

Aspartame is a synthetic sweetener that was created in 1965. It is estimated to be more than 150 times as sweet as sugar, and is commonly used as a sugar replacement in drinks, food products, and ...
