Miniature organs on a chip could allow us to do scientific studies with great precision, without having to resort to animal testing. The main problem, however, is that artificial tissue needs blood ...

While venous blood sampling can help gain understanding of patients’ health through phenolic compound analysis, this process ...

Blood vessels are like big-city highways; full of curves, branches, merges, and congestion. Yet for years, lab models ...

In biomedical research, so-called organs-on-a-chip, also referred to as microphysiological systems, are becoming increasingly ...

Engineers from Texas A&M University (TAMU) have developed a groundbreaking tiny chip that mimics real human blood vessels, ...

People with SCD experience a continual shortage of RBCs as a result. The leftover cells can readily block blood flow or easily get caught in blood arteries. Your body's RBCs transport substances like ...

Researchers have developed a vascularized organoid model of hormone secreting cells in the pancreas. The advance promises to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies.
