With each heartbeat, blood courses through your body. Some traverse arteries from the lungs back to the heart, and some navigate through capillaries in the thinnest layers of your eyelid, almost ...

A team of UVM scientists led by Mark Nelson, Ph.D., from the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont, has uncovered a novel mechanism that reshapes our understanding of how blood flow ...

Photoacoustic imaging systems provide a high-resolution glimpse into the body, but they’re bulky. Now, researchers have developed a miniaturized version that fits into a watch, with hardware contained ...

Human health is influenced by many factors: diet, exercise, family history, and — believe it or not — gravity. The Earth’s gravitational pull, or its absence, affects the movement of fluid throughout ...

Acetylcholine regulates blood flow, but the source of blood acetylcholine has been unclear. Now, researchers have discovered that certain T cells in human blood can produce acetylcholine, which may ...

A study shows how newly created neurons depend on blood flow to travel to their final location in the adult brain, paving the way for future research on blood flow-dependent cell migration which may ...

This fundamental work provides novel insights into the blood flow-dependent mechanisms of neuronal migration and the role of Ghrelin signaling in the adult brain. The authors present convincing ...
