The cells lining skin capillaries are constantly sending each other messages—tiny pulses of calcium that help regulate blood ...

Systemic arterial hypertension is a highly prevalent chronic disease associated with hypertensive cardiomyopathy. One important feature of this condition is remodelling of intramural small coronary ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology (MET) at Tampere University have successfully created a cell culture platform that allows two cultivated vascular networks to ...

Capillary suspensions are defined by a small volume of an immiscible secondary fluid introduced to a particle–fluid suspension, triggering the formation of liquid bridges that interconnect particles ...

Cerebral blood delivery depends on mechanisms such as electrical signaling, which propagates through capillary networks to upstream arterioles to deliver blood, and calcium signaling, which fine-tunes ...

New research on tiny capillaries and cells called pericytes details how blood moves through over 400 miles of total vasculature in the human brain. While the human brain has over 400 miles of total ...

The New York University School of Medicine and collaborators found that capillary-associated macrophages in skin decline with age, weakening microvascular repair and reducing perfusion in mice, with ...

The alveolar capillaries have been visulalized using immunofluorescence against the capillary marker protein Periaxin and visualized by light sheet microscopy (yellow color). DAPI stained nuclei are ...

The brain's vascular network, shown in this image, consists of arteries, which penetrate into the brain to feed a vast capillary network, which is then drained by veins. Disclaimer: AAAS and ...
