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

Blood vessels are like big-city highways; full of curves, branches, merges, and congestion. Yet for years, lab models replicated vessels like straight, simple roads. To better capture the complex ...

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, ...

A landmark trilogy of scientific studies, published today on the preprints.org server, has for the first time comprehensively characterised the anomalous intravascular casts (AICs) commonly reported ...

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 ...
