Disease of the microscopic blood vessels that feed the white matter of our brain is associated with worse cognitive function and memory deficits in individuals with Alzheimer’s, scientists report.

Watermelon may be the sweetest way to support heart health. Studies show it can improve nutrient intake, lower added sugar, ...

Living bone is fascinating because of its unique ability to adapt to mechanical stress and regenerate without scarring. During fracture healing, blood vessels and bone cells work closely together ...

We also found that tumors release a protein called Activin-A, which acts on blood vessels to cause the leakiness and, ultimately, loss of blood vessels in the muscle. When we used a gene therapy to ...

However, there has been a major obstacle: Such mini-organs are incomplete without blood vessels. To facilitate systematic studies and ensure meaningful comparisons with living organisms, a network ...

To observe the growth of new blood vessels during the healing of skull bone, a team of Max Planck researchers has developed an intravital microscopy method that allows them to follow the sprouting of ...

During an eye exam, an optometrist may be able to measure the diameter of blood vessels to determine if a person is likely to ...

A dysfunction in muscle blood vessels could be to blame for the weak muscles and weight loss that most cancer patients experience, according to a new study from University of Illinois Chicago ...

To better understand problems in the brain’s blood vessels that may lead to stroke, we need a better way to see them. Cardiovascular imaging can peer inside coronary arteries to spot clots ...

Lupus vasculitis usually affects your small blood vessels, or capillaries. Less commonly, you can get inflammation in medium and large blood vessels -- your veins and arteries.

For the first time, however, experts succeeded in visually tracking the movement of microplastics through brain blood vessels in mice—and the pile-ups resembled a microscopic “car crash.” ...
