When military personnel fire certain powerful weapons, they may be exposed to blast waves that damage blood vessels in the ...

This finding advances our understanding of how blood vessels sprout new branches through cell migration. Blood vessels supply the cells in our bodies with the oxygen and nutrients they need to ...

Perivascular cells surrounding small blood vessels contribute to dysfunction in chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, and fibrosis by sensing tissue changes and disrupting vascular function.

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 ...

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 ...

Their contraction and relaxation are regulated by the autonomic nervous system, which controls the activity of organs and blood vessels needed for essential ... are made up of smooth muscle. Smooth ...

The ECM (extracellular matrix) provides the microenvironmental niche sensed by resident vascular smooth muscle ... that the vessels were healthy with no evidence of atherosclerosis. All experiments ...
