Cerebrovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and stroke remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A ...

Doctors have tools to clear the jam, like surgical rerouting, balloon angioplasty, and stents. These can help restore blood ...

3D printing skin, bone, and even working organs could change transplant medicine and medical research — but how, exactly, does one “print” a heart or liver?

An international team of scientists has made an advancement in diabetes research by successfully 3D printing functional Langerhans islands (human islets) using a novel bioink. In laboratory tests ...

Left: 3D power-Doppler volumes overlaid on anatomical volumes of the myocardium in the left-anterior descending artery. Right: Absolute flow velocities estimated by 4D ultrafast ultrasound flow ...

Physicists say a supercomputer simulation of blood flow around the entire human body is showing promise, based on an experimental test.

Biomedical engineers are developing a massive fluid dynamics simulator that can model blood flow through the full human arterial system at subcellular resolution. One of the goals of the effort is ...

The breakthrough involved printing human islets – the insulin-producing clusters of cells in the pancreas – using a customised bioink made from alginate and decellularised human ...
