But far less is known about the vasculature of brain tumors, where new blood vessels engendered by cancer cells establish a functionally distinct blood-tumor barrier that serves and protects them ...

In this study, researchers isolated blood vessels from human early developing brains, adult brains, brain tumours and brain vascular malformations. They found that endothelial cells, which line ...

The venous system maintains the health of our brains by removing deoxygenated blood and other waste products, but its ...

ENA-78 = Epithelial neutrophil-activating peptide-78; FKN = Fractalkine; FLT3 = FMS-related tyrosine kinase 3; G-CSF = Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor; PD-ECGF = Platelet-derived endothelial ...

Jain and his colleagues previously showed that “normalizing” tumor’s blood vessels with agents called anti-angiogenesis drugs, originally developed to inhibit the growth of new blood vessels ...

Tumors in some parts of the brain may block cerebrospinal fluid from flowing out of the brain. New blood vessels growing in and near the tumor can leak and also lead to swelling. High altitudes ...

Dear Dr. Roach: A recent fall split the skin below my left eye. I went to the emergency room to see if it required stitches. Since I complained of a headache in the back of my head on the left ...

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 ...

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.” ...

Surprisingly, the protein shortage primarily affects the brain’s blood vessels. University of Connecticut researchers report in the April 16 issue of Science Advances that mutations in the TARDBP gene ...
