Each time a blood vessel splits into smaller vessels, red blood cells (RBCs) are presented with the same decision: Take the left capillary or the right. While one might think RBCs would divide evenly ...
New research from a fluid mechanics team reveals how blood flow dynamics within blood vessels may influence where plaques develop or rupture. The findings could one day help doctors identify weak ...
Model vessels: study highlights the importance of dilation in the brain. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Phonlamai-Photo) A new model based on the blood-vessel network in a ...
Patients with brain aneurysms – bulging blood vessels that could burst at any time – often have stent-like blood diverters implanted in the damaged blood vessel to protect the bulging and weakened ...
How do blood vessels stay strong, flexible, and responsive to the body's changing need for oxygen and nutrients? The answer lies not only in biology—but also in physics. Researchers at Åbo Akademi ...
Cerebrovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and stroke remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A common feature of these diseases is vascular stenosis, i.e., the narrowing of ...
A wireless electronic patch has been developed that can easily measure blood flow, an essential variable for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases. By detecting thermal changes, it can non-invasively ...
