Different tissues need different amounts of blood depending on what they are doing. Meeting those changing demands requires ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a noninvasive medical monitoring device powerful enough to detect single cells within blood vessels, yet small enough to wear like a wristwatch. One important aspect ...

Researchers from the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed a new, noninvasive way to examine how blood flow ...

Determining whether a patient with severe brain injury is conscious is one of the most consequential and difficult tasks in medicine. In the neurocritical care unit, sedation, metabolic disturbances, ...

Jennifer Lee, a biomedical engineering master’s student at Texas A&M University, joined Dr. Abhishek Jain’s lab and designed an advanced vessel-chip that could replicate variations in vascular ...

A new computational study reveals that hydraulically efficient suction-type micro-axial heart pumps can inflict more blood ...

Researchers at NYU Langone Health discovered that cutting off blood flow accelerates cancer growth by prematurely aging the bone marrow and weakening the immune system. In mouse models, restricted ...

Stem cells are precursors of a variety of different cells: They can turn into anything from blood to bone to muscle. Human blood stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells, are the forerunners of ...

A new study suggests that dementia may be driven in part by faulty blood flow in the brain. Researchers found that losing a key lipid causes blood vessels to become overactive, disrupting circulation ...

A color map of blood flow through the brain, captured at high resolution with a 7 Tesla MRI scanner. Right: A map showing how densely cells are packed across the brain's outer layers, based on a ...
