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 ...

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 ...

A new method for imaging blood circulation and the flow within blood vessels could lead to faster and more precise assessments of capillary dynamics. In particular it should help the understanding of ...

When you sit quietly for a moment listening to your heart pump blood through your body, do you think about blood vessels as a firehose drenching your organs and brain with red blood cells full of ...

Harmless, fluorescent proteins allow scientists to track blood flow in mice. The advance could help researchers monitor and understand disease progression. The corresponding study was published in ...

While the human brain has over 400 miles of total vasculature, little is known about the tiny capillaries that make up much of this intricate labyrinth of blood vessels critical for delivering ...
