Lab-grown chicken nuggets are now closer to reality due to blood vessel-mimicking microfibers. Researchers at the University ...

Each 2.54 square centimetre (a square inch) of human skin has six metres (20ft) of blood vessels. Veins hold about 65 per cent of the body's blood and have one-way valves tohelp blood move.

Researchers have developed a cutting-edge chip technology capable of precisely mimicking the interactions between cancer ...

The agency OK’d an artificial vessel to restore blood flow in patients, even though its own scientists flagged questionable study results and potentially fatal ruptures of the product.
