Radiation Research, Vol. 161, No. 2 (Feb., 2004), pp. 174-184 (11 pages) Radiation-induced changes in capillaries constitute a basic injury in the pathogenesis of chronic radiation damage to the heart ...

Lectins conjugated with either peroxidase or ferritin were used to detect specific monosaccharide residues on the luminal front of the fenestrated endothelium in the capillaries of murine pancreas and ...

A protein that is expressed on capillary endothelial cells, called GPIHBP1 (glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored high-density lipoprotein binding protein 1), binds lipoprotein lipase and shuttles it ...

Many diseases arise from abnormalities in our capillaries, tiny exquisitely branching blood vessel networks that play a critical role in tissue health. Researchers have learned a lot about the ...

Editor's note: Find the latest COVID-19 news and guidance in Medscape's Coronavirus Resource Center. The study covered in this summary was published on BioRxiv.org as a preprint and has not yet been ...

In their work toward 3-D printing transplantable tissues and organs, bioengineers and scientists have demonstrated a key step on the path to generate implantable tissues with functioning capillaries.

Researchers have developed a human in vitro model that closely mimics the complexities of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) and radiation dose sensitivity of the human lung. Using a previously ...
