Bleeding occurs when trauma damages a blood vessel. When that trauma involves your head—whether the scalp, skull, or brain—it’s considered a head injury. These head injuries range in severity from a ...

3D printed blood vessels on glass that mimic blood vessel anatomy and the fluid dynamics of blood flow could be an invaluable tool in studying the causes of stroke, new research from a University of ...

The formation of blood vessels is a complex process involving the interplay of proteins and mechanic forces. In two studies, a research team has uncovered new mechanisms in blood vessel formation. The ...

This article was reviewed by Craig Primack, MD, FACP, FAAP, FOMA. Atherosclerosis happens when a fatty substance called plaque builds up inside your arteries. There are typically few noticeable ...

Miniature organs on a chip could allow us to do scientific studies with great precision, without having to resort to animal testing. The main problem, however, is that artificial tissue needs blood ...

A computational model that could rapidly design a blood vessel network for any 3D-printed organ may take us a step closer to transplanting artificial livers, kidneys or hearts without the need for a ...
