A novel, minimally invasive method of determining whether fatty deposits in a coronary artery are restricting blood flow to a patient's heart performed similarly to the standard, more-invasive ...

Custom small-diameter vascular grafts spun from nanofibers in minutes sustained blood flow and tissue remodeling in rats for four weeks.

Dementia has long been framed as a slow, irreversible loss of neurons, but a new line of research is shifting attention to the blood vessels that feed the brain. Scientists are now testing whether ...

Stress may lead to altered blood flow in the brain, reveals a new study. The findings may give vital clues to the exact causes of neurodegenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia, say ...

Abnormal blood flow in the aorta is linked to inflammation and breakdown of the vessel wall in conditions where the aorta is dilated. The findings can contribute to better diagnosis and open up new ...

A new study suggests that dementia may be driven in part by faulty blood flow in the brain. Researchers found that losing a key lipid causes blood vessels to become overactive, disrupting circulation ...
