Microplastics may cause blockages in blood vessels in the brain and affect behavior, according to a study on mice.

the human body's massive network of vasculature can be waylaid by the vagaries of age. Indeed, growing older can impact the very process by which healthy new blood vessels are made, resulting in a ...

Picturing how our species might appear in the far future often invites wild speculation over stand-out features such as ...

Real-time imaging shows how plastic-stuffed cells form clumps that affect mouse movement.

Researchers have uncovered how specialized cells surrounding small blood vessels, known as perivascular cells, contribute to blood vessel dysfunction in chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes and ...

Water flow plays a surprising role in the formation of new blood vessels as zebrafish develop, RIKEN researchers have ...

Trapped immune cells laden with microplastics starve the brain of oxygen—mouse study links vascular blockages to memory loss and motor deficits, with lingering risks even after symptoms fade.

Symvess is a sterile, acellular tissue-engineered vessel composed of extracellular matrix proteins usually found in human blood vessels and is manufactured using human vascular smooth muscle cells ...

The University of Cincinnati’s Jun-Ming Zhang has received a five-year, $3.1 million grant from the National Institute of ...

To create a model of the human circulatory system, biologist Mátyás Bittenbinder teamed up with chemist Jeroen Kool, both researchers at Vrije University Amsterdam. They cultured endothelial cells ...
