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

A new imaging breakthrough combines ultrasound and light-based techniques to generate vivid 3D images that show both tissue ...

In his lab, Yuxiang Zhu leaned over a softly humming 3D printer, his face lit by the faint glow of a nearby monitor. Beneath the printer's nozzle, a thick blend of seaweed-derived sodium alginate and ...

Lab-grown organs for transplant are one step closer thanks to a technique for making artificial blood vessels using 3D printers and liquid metal. One challenge in developing organs in the lab is to ...

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 ...

The formation of blood vessels is a complex process involving the interplay of proteins and mechanic forces. In two studies, a research team at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel, Switzerland, ...

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, ...
