Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from your heart. They have thick walls and a muscular layer that keeps your blood moving. Arteries can be as wide as a nickel (about two centimeters). They are the ...

A new study identifies molecular factors that promote small vessel disease—and an active drug that can restore impaired ...

Throughout our lives, our bones are continuously remodeled to maintain strength, repair injuries and adapt to new stresses. Bone dynamics depend on two associated cell types: osteoblasts, which are ...

When we smell hot dogs, it may trigger memories of backyard barbeques or attending baseball games during childhood. During this process, the areas of the brain that control smell and long-term memory ...

A new study identifies molecular factors that promote small vessel disease - and an active drug that can restore impaired ...

The endothelium is a cell layer that lines the body’s blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. These cells are necessary to maintain healthy organs, tissues, and overall body function. The cells of the ...

What Broken Capillaries Actually Are Broken capillaries—also known as telangiectasia—are tiny, dilated blood vessels that ...

Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women in the United States; responsible for about one in every five female deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

A new method for imaging blood circulation and the flow within blood vessels could lead to faster and more precise assessments of capillary dynamics. In particular it should help the understanding of ...

Complex artificial organs could be created by 3D printing a mould of veins, arteries and capillaries in ice, casting that in organic material and then allowing the ice to melt away, resulting in a ...
