Using lab-created tissue to heal or replace damaged organs is one of the great visions for the future of medicine. Synthetic materials could be suitable as scaffolding for tissue because, unlike ...

3D printed blood vessels on glass that mimic blood vessel anatomy and the fluid dynamics of blood flow could be an invaluable tool in studying the causes of stroke, new research from a University of ...

A computational model that could rapidly design a blood vessel network for any 3D-printed organ may take us a step closer to transplanting artificial livers, kidneys or hearts without the need for a ...

High blood pressure, or hypertension, affects more than one billion people worldwide and is a leading cause of heart disease ...

If this tiny tubular hydrogel looks like an artery, it’s supposed to. Researchers are trying to use gels like these to model and even grow real-life blood vessels. PhD students Lynn Stevens and ...

image: This image of a mini brain tumour (tumouroid) with blood vessels grown in the lab, was taken by PhD candidate Agavi Stavropoulou-Tatla. Tumouroids can be used to study the interaction between ...

Researchers investigate which material properties support vessel formation. Using lab-created tissue to heal or replace damaged organs is one of the great visions for the future of medicine. Synthetic ...
