Damage to blood vessels that leaves them blocked or otherwise impeded can leave no option other than surgical replacement. Traditionally, this can involve vessels from a donor or harvested from elsewhere in the patient’s body, but lately we’re seeing h… Continue reading Manufactured blood vessels mature naturally once in the body

Following yet another failed clinical trial testing a novel drug designed to break up the aggregations of toxic proteins thought to be the cause of Alzheimer’s disease, a new study suggests we look to a different part of the brain in the hopes of finding a treatment. Led by researchers from the University of Manchester the new study found disruptions to blood vessels in the brain may be contributing to the neurodegeneration seen in Alzheimer’s.

Stents can make a life-saving difference for people with vascular problems, as they open up narrowing blood vessels. An experimental new one goes a step further, by actually transmitting blood flow data to an external computer or mobile device.Continue… Continue reading Smart artery stent wirelessly transmits blood flow data
One of the harmful effects of diabetes is the way it impacts on the blood vessels, not only narrowing them to drive up the risk of stroke and heart attacks but preventing the formation of entirely new ones. Researchers have produced what they say is th… Continue reading Exercise found to promote new blood vessel growth in diabetic mice
New observational research out of Sweden has tracked more than one million COVID-19 cases for months after their acute illness in order to determine how the disease influences subsequent risk of blood clots. The findings indicate COVID-19 significantly… Continue reading Risk of serious blood clot events spike in the months after COVID-19
Scientists have discovered bitter taste receptors in an unexpected part of the body – the walls of blood vessels in the lungs. The find could be an important new drug target to treat acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a dangerous complication … Continue reading Taste receptors found in lung blood vessels could help ICU patients
With its extremely narrow and delicate blood vessels, the brain poses a unique challenge for surgeons trying to get at its various nooks and crannies, and there are limitations to what current catheters can achieve. Scientists have developed a first-of… Continue reading Insect-inspired catheter steers through brain’s intricate pathways
Scientists have developed a new type of smart stent that can help prevent some of the complications these implants bring. The stent is coated in a substance that minimizes the inflammatory response, while promoting tissue repair.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Smart stent coatings release drugs for better artery healing
