The protein p53, best known as the "guardian of the genome" for its role in preventing cancer, can affect blood vessels in ...

Scientists have discovered that feeding mice with microplastics increases plaque buildup in the arteries of male mice.

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 ...

Scientists are finding tiny fragments of plastic lodged in the very blood vessels that keep the heart alive, and the pattern that is emerging is not reassuring. Instead of passing harmlessly through ...

Although the precise mechanism isn’t yet known, factors like sex chromosomes and hormones, particularly the protective ...

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 ...

A UCLA-led research team has discovered a molecular switch that determines whether tiny blood vessels in premature infants' ...

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 ...

Adding engineered human blood vessel-forming cells to islet transplants boosted the survival of the insulin-producing cells ...

Adding engineered human blood vessel-forming cells to islet transplants boosted the survival of the insulin-producing cells and reversed diabetes in a preclinical study led by Weill Cornell Medicine ...
