A new ultrasound-based imaging tech has been developed to map the organ blood flow in four dimensions (3D + time) — a level ...

This new imaging technique, when applied to humans, could both improve our understanding of the circulatory system (veins, arteries, vessels and lymphatic system) and ...

Researchers have made a giant leap towards the goal of 'bio-printing' transplantable tissues and organs for people affected by major diseases and trauma injuries, a new study reports. Scientists have ...

Blood microcirculation is a complex network that transports blood to tissues and organs through tiny blood vessels. When this mechanism functions properly, cells receive the oxygen and nutrients they ...

For people who need a lung transplant, the wait is often prolonged by the frustrating fact that most donor organs have to be discarded: Only 20% of donated lungs meet medical criteria for ...

Patients do just as well when they receive a heart donated after circulatory death (DCD) as compared with one donated after brain death (DBD), results from a new randomized trial show. Six months ...

Miniature human organs made by 3D printing could create a "body on a chip" that enables better drug testing. That futuristic idea has become a new bioprinting project backed by $24 million from the ...

Salmonella enteritidis is one of the main causes of food-borne illness worldwide. In severe cases, it can reach the circulatory system. Knowledge about the distribution in the internal organs may lead ...
