blood vessel

Our study shows that these important stem cells can be found as single cells among ordinary endothelial cells in blood vessel walls.

Unfortunately, malignant tumours are also capable of growing new blood vessels to receive oxygen and nutrients.

A DISCOVERY that makes it possible to speed up or slow down the growth of blood vessels could yield new ways of tackling cancer and heart disease, it was claimed.

The cells interacted with astrocytes, another type of cell, and "completely rescued" the at-risk blood vessels and also appeared to rescue some photoreceptors-structures that are destroyed in RP.

In order to avoid massive internal bleeding, the vibrating scalpel also causes blood vessels around a cut to seal off.

While the suspicion that Ang4 makes intestinal blood vessels has not yet been proven, it looks like the protein has a more certain role.

However, Rupnick had an epiphany several years ago while recalling her own decade-old work to isolate cells that form blood vessels in fat tissue.

VDAs are presently the focus of intense cancer research particularly in combination treatments with existing cancer therapeutics because of the observed ability to selectively target and disrupt abnormal blood vessels, and to cause extensive destruction of central regions of tumors--areas that are believed to contain cells resistant to most conventional therapies such as chemotherapy and radiation.

To get the water higher, the fireman can either turn the pump up faster, similar to increasing the heart rate, or put his or her finger over the end of the hose to get more pressure, similar to constricting the blood vessels.

Frankfurt:XMP) today presented research results from two studies demonstrating that adipose stem and regenerative cells have an ability to form blood vessels and improve blood flow.

AlphaV-beta3 endothelial integrins are found specifically on recently formed blood vessels, so tracking these proteins might indicate blood vessel growth associated with cancer.

The discovery could someday spare patients the need for bypass surgery, in which a piece of blood vessel is grafted into place to create a detour around a blockage.

If there is damage to the blood vessel wall, the blood and its contents may start leaking through the endothelial cells, through the blood-brain barrier, and into the perivascular space--that area around the blood vessels in the brain tissue.

Researchers now believe that before cholesterol gets deposited in an artery, the blood vessel wall suffers a microscopic "injury.

Those stem-like cells, the researchers concluded, could form both tumour and blood vessel.
