Heart disease is a leading cause of heart attacks, and current bypass grafts often fail to fully regenerate healthy blood vessels. Using a rapid 3D-printing process called MµCLIP, researchers created ...

Innovative technology that creates ultra-thin layers of human cells in tube-like structures could spur development of lifelike blood vessels and intestines in the lab. Innovative technology that ...

The protein p53, best known as the "guardian of the genome" for its role in preventing cancer, can affect blood vessels in ...

In his lab, Yuxiang Zhu leaned over a softly humming 3D printer, his face lit by the faint glow of a nearby monitor. Beneath the printer's nozzle, a thick blend of seaweed-derived sodium alginate and ...

Tiny balls of lab-grown blood vessels helped restore blood flow to injured tissue in mice, minimising necrosis. This approach could one day be used to reduce some of the damage caused by accidents or ...

A UCLA-led research team has discovered a molecular switch that determines whether tiny blood vessels in premature infants' ...

Researchers investigate which material properties support vessel formation. Using lab-created tissue to heal or replace damaged organs is one of the great visions for the future of medicine. Synthetic ...

Growing functional human organs outside the body is a long-sought “holy grail” of organ transplantation medicine that remains elusive. New research from Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically ...
