The researchers say that the structure could also incorporate tiny holes along its length, which would mimic the permeability of actual blood vessels. "This was a proof of principle study," said ...

A computational model that could rapidly design a blood vessel network for any 3D-printed organ may take us a step closer to transplanting artificial livers, kidneys or hearts without the need for a ...

A research team led by Dr. Shin Hur at the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM, President Seog-Hyeon Ryu), ...

A new technology has been developed that enables cuffless non-invasive blood pressure monitoring by using ultrasonic to track ...

3D printed blood vessels on glass that mimic blood vessel anatomy and the fluid dynamics of blood flow could be an invaluable tool in studying the causes of stroke, new research from a University of ...

Guohao Dai, PhD, a bioengineering professor at Northeastern University, helped create a new elastic hydrogel material for 3D printing of soft living tissues, including blood vessels. The breakthrough ...

Damage to blood vessels that leaves them blocked or otherwise impeded can leave no option other than surgical replacement. Traditionally, this can involve vessels from a donor or harvested from ...

An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a tangle of blood vessels. It can develop anywhere in the body, but it presents the most risk when it occurs in the brain or spinal cord. An AVM can result in ...

Disease of the microscopic blood vessels that feed the white matter of our brain is associated with worse cognitive function and memory deficits in individuals with Alzheimer's, scientists report.
