The pathological process of glomerulonephritis (GN) includes glomerular capillary damage, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has an important role in glomerular capillary repair in GN. We ...

Researchers performed microtomography experiments the BL20XU beamline of the SPring-8 synchrotron radiation facility and found that brain capillary structures show a correlation with their neuron ...

You have more than 40 billion hair-thin capillaries in your body and for the most part their inner workings remain a mystery despite their importance in distributing oxygen to your cells. We may soon ...

The Capillary Structures investigation uses capillary action, or the ability for a liquid to flow through a narrow spaces, such as small tubes, to move liquids and gases in microgravity, a task that ...

Capillary flow dynamics in microgravity is an area of research that investigates the movement of fluids driven primarily by surface tension forces rather than by gravity. In the absence or reduction ...

"Keep cool to reduce friction" might be the advice given designers of nanoscale machinery by researchers who have just completed a study of factors influencing the formation of "water bridges" -- ...

Researchers from the University of Tokyo propose cooling chips using microchannels built into the chips themselves. The method utilizes microfluidic channels to create a capillary structure through ...
