Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see – but it's been a mystery how the intricate structure is created. Now, researchers at ...

Blood flows around the body through a complex network of vessels, which must constantly adapt to changing needs. The balance ...

In a developing embryo, the growth of nerves cannot outpace the establishment of life-giving blood vessels. Now, researchers have found that a protein intimately involved in blood vessel patterning ...

BOULDER, Colo. — That zero-calorie sweetener making your morning coffee taste just right might be quietly interfering with the tiny blood vessels in your brain — at least in a petri dish. A new ...

A new study in mice has identified a cellular communication system in the brain’s blood vessels that helps direct blood flow to regions that are active and in need of oxygen and nutrients. The ...

Using computer-designed proteins, researchers have now shown they are able to direct human stem cells to form new blood vessels in the lab. This milestone in regenerative medicine offers new hope for ...

Investigators from the Center for Advanced Gerotherapeutics at Cedars-Sinai found that aged blood vessel cells play a key role in the development of metabolic disorders, including diabetes. The ...
