While mural cells are known to be crucial to healthy blood vessel function, their response to inflammation has not been well studied. The blood-vessel-on-a-chip consists of a 3D matrix made of ...

Researchers at Stanford University have developed a technique for rapidly designing and 3D printing blood vessels.

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed a novel mouse model that allows them to induce dysfunction in only ...

Hidden within our bones, marrow sustains life by producing billions of blood cells daily, from oxygen-carrying red cells to immune-boosting white cells. This vital function is often disrupted in ...

A research team at RIKEN in Japan has succeeded in establishing a model of the blood-brain barrier using modularized tissue derived from human cells. The “Tissue-in-a-CUBE” is a small cubic ...

A research team at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) in Japan has succeeded in establishing a model of the blood-brain barrier using modularized tissue derived from human cells.

While the role of the blood-brain barrier has long been appreciated for its ability to maintain precise control over what molecules can enter the nervous system, very little is known about how the ...
