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

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 ...

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.

Structures and growth factors of i-PRF and PRF. The microstructures of i-PRF (A) and PRF (B) were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, in which fibrin fibrils were stained pink, while ...

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 ...

Platelets are cells produced in the bone marrow that travel throughout the bloodstream. When bleeding occurs, the platelets become sticky, allowing them to adhere to each other and the blood vessel ...

A normal red blood cell count ranges between 4.5 and 5.3 million cells/μL for males ages 12 to 18 years, while the range is 4.1 to 5.1 million cells/μL for females of the same age group. How do ...

Blood collected from 3 donors and 10 ml of cubitus vein blood collected by a certified laboratory assistant. After collection, in less than 2 min they were centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 14 min and the A ...
