Broken capillary are those thin, spidery, ribbon-like lines that populate on the lower half of your face, such as around your nose, cheeks and mouth. While covering them up so your complexion looks ...

Researchers from the University of Technology Delft, the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and Caltech have developed a microscopy technique based on ultrasound to reveal capillaries and cells ...

Throughout our lives, our bones are continuously remodeled to maintain strength, repair injuries and adapt to new stresses. Bone dynamics depend on two associated cell types: osteoblasts, which are ...

For physicians, the dream of 3D printing is to one day be able to print functional tissues and organs for patients, made from their own cells. Doing this will allow a level of bespoke geometric ...

More than 40 billion capillaries — tiny, hair-like blood vessels — are tasked with carrying oxygen and nutrients to the far reaches of the human body. But despite their sheer number and monumental ...

Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels from existing ones. It is blood pressure that drives the opening of small capillaries during angiogenesis. A team of researchers led by Prof. Holger ...

You have more than 40 billion hair-thin capillaries in your body and for the most part their inner workings remain a mystery despite their importance in distributing oxygen to your cells. We may soon ...

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Our bones may be filled with previously undiscovered networks of microscopic tunnels, a new study ...

3D microvessels have been created to observe how red blood cells transit ultra-small blood vessels. They squeeze single-file through microvessels to bring oxygen and nutrients. Red cells burdened with ...

Tired of layering on makeup to cover those red, sunburstlike capillaries near your nose and on your cheeks? New technologies can eradicate them—but it will cost you a lot more than a pot of concealer.

Ultrasound is one of the most widely used imaging techniques in medicine, but up until recently it hardly played a role in imaging the tiniest structures of our bodies such as cells. “Clinical ...
