The implications of this discovery are significant. Cerebral microbleeds are linked to various conditions, including high ...

Wildfire smoke, long recognized as a health threat to the lungs and heart, may also pose significant risks to brain health, ...

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.

The blood–brain barrier is the biggest challenge to the development of drugs that target the CNS. Most capillary beds leak plasma contents between and across endothelial cells by way of window-like ...

T-cell therapy, originally developed for haematological malignancies, has recently emerged as a promising therapy for ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered how specialized cells surrounding small blood vessels, known ...

While pericytes are important regulators of capillary function and homeostasis, the lack of specific markers has hampered the ...

Share on Pinterest Do all our cells have a type of memory, and if so, how might this influence health? We investigate. Design by MNT; Photography by Grant Faint/Getty Images & Ed Reschke/Getty Images.

The study demonstrated that electrical hyperpolarization in capillary cells spreads rapidly through activation of capillary endothelial Kir2.1 channels, specialized proteins in the cell membrane that ...

Confocal microscopy provided three-dimensional imaging of BM vasculature and cell localization. This imaging confirmed that NOhi HSCs preferentially interact with specialized CD200hi capillaries ...

Many forms of dementia and cognitive impairment are linked to abnormalities in small vessels and capillaries in the brain. Vascular dementia is a prime example of a brain disorder that develops as ...
