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 ...

Damage to the vascular lining leads to interactions with red blood cells that hint at how to treat dangerous complications of heart attack, stroke and COVID-19. Damage to the vascular lining leads ...

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

A team led by the University of Sydney has identified red blood cell rupture at dying endothelial sites as a primary driver of microvascular obstruction in COVID-19, bypassing the expected role of ...

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.

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

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

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.

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

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 ...

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