Have you ever wondered if it’s possible to grow living skin in a lab that works just like the real thing? Australian ...

Cerebrovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and stroke remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A ...

In experiments, they were able to expose the blood vessels they created to a "diabetic" environment in a petri dish and witness the "massive expansion" of the basement membrane.

Currently, a blood vessel is removed from the leg and used in the bypass surgery. “That’s a problem for diabetics or those with reduced circulation,” said Boland.

The blood vessels created by the Garry duo will avoid rejection because of the method by which they are made. The team injects human-induced pluripotent stem cells—taken from mature cells scraped from ...

Scientist have grown human blood vessels from cells taken from elderly patients in a ground-breaking experiment that could lead to new treatments for heart disease within the next decade.

The scientists also spotted large changes in protein levels around the ages of 45 and 55. One of the biggest shifts was in ...

The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) announced that has developed a bio-artificial blood vessel. This blood vessel mimics the function and properties of human blood vessels in ...

Human textile made from skin cells could be used to repair blood vessels, reports a new study. The findings of the study are published in the journal Acta Biomaterialia. What if we could replace a ...

3D printing live blood vessels has taken the medical community by storm and has serious implications for the future of organ generation and human physiology at large.

Synthetic blood vessels made from polytetrafluorethylene only last for a median time of about 10 months before their flow is reduced as a result of complications such as infection or clotting.
