Nature has consistently inspired engineering applications. Recently, a group of researchers drew new inspirations from the vascular network and developed a new type of fluidic system named VasFluidics ...

Before tissue-engineered blood vessels reach the clinic, they must withstand the mechanical stresses of the vascular system—an assessment that is essential, but often expensive. One University of ...

The vascular system is the body’s essential infrastructure for regeneration—delivering oxygen, nutrients, and signaling cues that coordinate tissue repair. Over time, however, this regenerative ...

3D tissue printing startup Prellis Biologics has assembled $8.7 million in new funding alongside positive news from the first transplantation of its vascular tissue scaffolds into animals. The San ...

Researchers face a fundamental challenge as they seek to scale up human tissue regeneration from small lab samples to full-size tissues and organs: how to establish a vascular system that delivers ...

On the surface, plants and animals couldn't be more different. However, as researchers at Worcester Polytechnic University (WPU) have discovered, they also share surprising similarities in their ...

Your circulatory system works all day, every day, to pump oxygen throughout your body. There are cardiovascular conditions that can impact this system. Your circulatory system, also known as your ...

Steatotic liver disease (commonly called fatty liver disease) progresses silently. Even in the absence of noticeable symptoms, changes begin to unfold inside the liver. While hepatic fat accumulation ...

There is a global shortage of transplantable organs, from which have emerged two main approaches to solving this issue: xenotransplantation and bioengineering. With all the news in pig-to-human organ ...
