Obesity causes hypertension. Hypertension causes cardiovascular disease. And cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of ...

The vascular system is the body’s essential infrastructure for regeneration—delivering oxygen, nutrients, and signaling cues that coordinate tissue repair. Over time, however, this regenerative ...

Results reveal mechanism driving high blood pressure and point toward more precise therapies targeting communication between fat and blood vessels.

Promoting brown fat activity could counteract hypertension by reshaping the molecular signals that govern vascular stiffness.

Nature has consistently inspired engineering applications. Recently, a group of researchers drew new inspirations from the vascular network and developed a new type of fluidic system named VasFluidics ...

Beige fat surrounding blood vessels actively works to keep high blood pressure in check, according to a new study in mice, promoting healthy vascular ...

Boston Children's Hospital scientists have unveiled a five-day approach to generate functional vascular organoids capable of supporting blood flow and in vivo engraftment. Subscribe to our newsletter ...

A vascular system once overlooked in medicine is now central to how longevity seekers understand circulation, adaptability, and aging well. The Foundation ...

In a recent study published in NPJ Microgravity, scientists explore the impact of spaceflight on human vascular smooth muscle cells at the transcriptomic level. Study: Spaceflight effects on human ...
