UCLA researchers have successfully grown miniature lungs from stem cells—complete with their own functioning blood vessel ...

Ideally, such blood vessels have to be created directly within special materials called hydrogels. Hydrogels provide structural support for living cells while being permeable, similar to natural ...

Researchers at Stanford University have developed a technique for rapidly designing and 3D printing blood vessels.

A team of researchers led by NYU Tandon School of Engineering's Weiqiang Chen has developed a miniature device that could ...

Artificial organ transplants have been held back by the difficulty of making networks of blood vessels - a problem scientists ...

This creates a model that closely mimics the structure and function of natural blood vessels. The major challenge so far has been geometry: the shape and size of these microvascular networks have ...

A study published in Cell Stem Cell reveals that some mutations in blood stem cells might help protect against late-onset ...

A research team at RIKEN in Japan has succeeded in establishing a model of the blood-brain barrier using modularized tissue derived from human cells. The “Tissue-in-a-CUBE” is a small cubic ...

However, existing BBB models have been unable to replicate the complex three-dimensional 3D structure of cerebral blood vessels, posing significant challenges for research and drug development. To ...

The problem with many in-vitro models is that they recreate the blood-brain barrier in a relatively simplified way using blood-vessel-wall cells (endothelial cells). This approach fails to represent ...

Scientists have grown a scalable new embryo-like model that unshrouds some mysteries of early human development, including blood cell formation, or hematopoiesis—a first for the field. In an ...

This creates a model that closely mimics the structure and function of natural blood vessels. The major challenge so far has been geometry. The shape and size of these microvascular networks have ...
