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

Researchers are continuing to make progress on developing a new synthetic material that behaves like biological muscle, an ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a new platform that can replicate different types of blood vessel structures. Blood vessels are less like straight pipes and more like a crowded city road map, with turns, ...

How can we investigate the effects of a new drug? How can we better understand the interaction between different organs to grasp the systemic response? In biomedical research, so-called ...
