This model differs from existing models, which can only sustain blood clots for short periods. Additionally, this new model includes the real cells necessary for clot resolution, whereas other lab ...

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 ...

New functions for blood-brain barrier in neuron function and ... pathways to see if we can translate our findings from larval synaptic function to more of a universal age-dependent model of ...
