Standard Imaging Captures Only a Fraction of It The Endothelial Glycocalyx: A Microscopic Lining That Helps Regulate How Blood Moves Through the Smallest Vessels How Patented Microfluidic Chip ...

This investigation evaluates the accuracy of television microscopy when applied to studies of skin capillary hemodynamics in newborn infants. Microscopic videorecordings of 16 nailfold capillaries in ...

Researchers discover that capillary obstruction in diabetes, triggered by elevated interleukin-10 signaling, may contribute to cognitive deficits independent of blood ...

AN important feature of the peripheral circulation is the close correspondence between the local needs of a given tissue and the amount of blood supplying it. Controlling mechanisms, to accomplish ...

The brain is perhaps the most sensitive organ with respect to changes in blood flow and oxygen supply. Even brief interruptions in capillary flow (or "stalling") can indicate acute neurological issues ...

New research on tiny capillaries and cells called pericytes details how blood moves through over 400 miles of total vasculature in the human brain. While the human brain has over 400 miles of total ...

All it takes is the flip of a protein "switch" within the tiny wire-like capillaries of the brain to increase the blood flow that ensures optimal brain function. New research has uncovered that ...
