The UCLA advance opens the door to growing other vascularized organ models, including intestines and colons, providing ...

Japanese researchers have generated lung cells directly from mouse tissue. These lung cells are called Alveolar Epithelial ...

The area postrema lacks the typical blood-brain barrier that keeps out toxins, pathogens and other molecules from the body, allowing it to directly sample circulating inflammatory signals.

For the first time, however, experts succeeded in visually tracking the movement of microplastics through brain blood vessels in mice—and the pile-ups resembled a microscopic “car crash.” ...

By tracking microplastics in the brains of mice, the team found they damaged the brain’s immune cells. These protective cells accumulated microplastics, instead of digesting them, and then the damaged ...

They found a new way in which microplastics may disrupt blood vessels and brain health, without crossing from the bloodstream to the brain. Microplastics are tiny particles of plastic, that break ...

Trapped immune cells laden with microplastics starve the brain of oxygen—mouse study links vascular blockages to memory loss and motor deficits, with lingering risks even after symptoms fade.

In a Study on Mice, Scientists Show How the Brain Washes Itself During Sleep The brain’s waste-removal process is “like turning on the dishwasher,” a neurologist says, but common sleep ...

Using magnetic resonance imaging in patients with β-thalassemia, researchers confirmed that there’s an increase in cerebral blood perfusion secondary to anemia severity, leading to a new theory ...

Researchers have, for the first time, visualized the full network of blood vessels across the cortex of awake mice, finding that blood vessels rhythmically expand and contract leading to “waves” ...
