Broken capillary are those thin, spidery, ribbon-like lines that populate on the lower half of your face, such as around your nose, cheeks and mouth. While covering them up so your complexion looks ...

For physicians, the dream of 3D printing is to one day be able to print functional tissues and organs for patients, made from their own cells. Doing this will allow a level of bespoke geometric ...

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Our bones may be filled with previously undiscovered networks of microscopic tunnels, a new study ...

Ultrasound is one of the most widely used imaging techniques in medicine, but up until recently it hardly played a role in imaging the tiniest structures of our bodies such as cells. “Clinical ...

They showed how to use a combination of human endothelial cells and mesenchymal stem cells to initiate a process called tubulogenesis that is crucial to the formation of blood-transporting capillaries ...

In their work toward 3-D printing transplantable tissues and organs, bioengineers and scientists have demonstrated a key step on the path to generate implantable tissues with functioning capillaries.

Many diseases arise from abnormalities in our capillaries, tiny exquisitely branching blood vessel networks that play a critical role in tissue health. Researchers have learned a lot about the ...

Tired of layering on makeup to cover those red, sunburstlike capillaries near your nose and on your cheeks? New technologies can eradicate them—but it will cost you a lot more than a pot of concealer.

3D microvessels have been created to observe how red blood cells transit ultra-small blood vessels. They squeeze single-file through microvessels to bring oxygen and nutrients. Red cells burdened with ...

The finest scale of blood flow through the brain occurs in capillaries. Suspicions that capillary flow is regulated by cells that put the squeeze on these vessels are now borne out by detailed ...
