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 researchers combined two imaging methods, rotational ultrasound tomography (RUST) and photoacoustic tomography (PAT), to create a hybrid modality christened RUS-PAT. Ultrasonography provides a ...

Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see – but it’s been a mystery how the intricate structure is created. Now, researchers at ...

The blood-brain and blood-retinal barriers are protective systems that prevent harmful substances from entering the brain and ...

The study suggests that bursting red blood cells, not blood clots, are the culprits. The microvasculature, the body’s network of tiny blood vessels, is critical for delivering oxygen and nutrients to ...

Guohao Dai, PhD, a bioengineering professor at Northeastern University, helped create a new elastic hydrogel material for 3D printing of soft living tissues, including blood vessels. The breakthrough ...
