Skoltech researchers have fashioned a microstructure made of modified glass fiber that could in principle function as a tiny ...

Cerebrovascular disease affects blood flow to the brain, increasing stroke risk. Learn about its different types, causes, ...

Most popped blood vessels in the eye heal on their own within a couple of weeks. However, there are some situations when you may want to seek medical care. A popped blood vessel in the eye is a ...

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 ...

1 In particular, blood vessels are critical pathways that, when narrowed, clogged, or weakened, can threaten your heart, brain, or limbs. Experts have long emphasised that vascular health is a ...

This increases the volume of blood in the blood vessels, which makes the heart pump harder and results in high blood pressure. Potassium helps blood vessel walls relax, supports heart function ...
