Human veins have been grown by U.S. scientists who hope to revolutionize heart bypass surgery and kidney dialysis procedures. Scientists from Duke University, East Carolina University and Yale ...
News that human veins have been grown in a laboratory may sound like something from a science fiction film. But for many thousands of heart and kidney patients, this amazing new development looks ...
These innovative gel-like tubes closely resemble human veins and hold the potential to revolutionize heart bypass surgery, improving outcomes for countless patients worldwide.
The Vein-Chip device, a miniaturized version of a large human vein, allowed scientists to study changes in vein wall cells, blood flow and other functions that lead to deep vein thrombosis in humans.
Norwegian startup ClexBio is bioengineering human veins to implant inside a patient’s body. Together with CSEM, a Swiss R&D centre, the company has built a prototype bioreactor to grow the veins ...
A new study from the University of Hull suggests microplastics can pass through blood vessels to vascular tissue - but it is not clear yet what the implications are for human health.
3D-printed blood vessels, which closely mimic the properties of human veins, could transform the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Strong, flexible, gel-like tubes -- created using a novel 3D ...
Reproducing a three-dimensional model of a human vein system, complete with blood, could be more difficult, however. Luminetx isn't the only group of researchers to pinpoint vein structure as a ...
Blood clot researchers could benefit from a new device that mimics a human vein, replacing the need for animals for some studies. The vein-on-a-chip model has been developed by scientists at the ...
