UCLA researchers have successfully grown miniature lungs from stem cells—complete with their own functioning blood vessel ...

The device, called a milli-spinner, is a tiny, powerfully rotating hollow tube outfitted with fins and slits. In action, both ...

Do you know your own blood type? If not, a quick look at your medical records or your donor card can hopefully answer that ...

Researchers from the Stanford University laboratory in the United States have created a tiny tube with thin ribs to ...

Forget brute force—Stanford engineers are using finesse to tackle deadly clots.

New milli-spinner technology from Stanford offers breakthrough in blood clot treatment by compressing clots to 5% of original ...

PRF injections harness the power of your own fluids.

In blood-vessel-model and live pig tests, the milli-spinner was able to reduce the volume of clots by up to 95%, allowing for successful clot removal on approximately 90% of first attempts.

Scientists have uncovered a new biological mechanism behind tissue and organ damage in low-oxygen conditions like heart attacks, strokes, and severe COVID-19. Bursting red blood cells—not ...

The process shakes free the red blood cells, which move normally through the body once they aren't trapped in fibrin, and the now-tiny fibrin ball is sucked into the milli-spinner and out of the body.

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), the second generation platelet concentrate, contains a supraphysiological concentration of platelets compared with whole blood and is a reservoir of many growth factors for ...

In SCD, red blood cell sickling is caused by the production of an abnormal version of hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen in these cells. This can lead to red blood cell destruction, or ...
