BEAUFORT, N.C. (WNCT)–The Duke Marine Lab in Beaufort will soon have its own research vessel thanks to a private endowment of $11 million. The vessel opens new vistas of opportunity for research at ...

When someone has a deadly disease or sustains a life-threatening injury, a transplant or graft of new tissue may be the best — or only — treatment option. Transplanted organs, skin grafts and other ...

The latest game changer in diabetes research might not be a new drug or a therapy. Instead, it could be a system of human blood vessels virtually identical to the ones currently transporting blood ...

Developers of a cutting-edge lab-grown blood vessel designed to save life and limb in war zones and other emergency scenarios appear to be promoting its use in surgeries far beyond the product’s ...

Blood vessels created in the lab can successfully turn into "living tissue" in patients on dialysis for advanced kidney disease, a new study suggests. The results come from just 13 patients in an ...

Humacyte (HUMA) is advancing the field of regenerative medicine with its lab-grown blood vessels, known as acellular tissue-engineered vessels (ATEVs), poised to transform treatment options for ...

Some blood vessels don’t show up on circulatory system diagrams, or even in the plain light of a laboratory lamp. These are microscopic, forming networks at the ends of the system, feeding living ...

Scientists have managed to grow 'perfect' human blood vessels in the lab for the first time. The breakthrough could have a dramatic effect on research into a host of vascular problems, including ...

Biomedical engineers, artificial blood vessels bioengineered in the lab and implanted in young lambs are capable of growth within the recipient, a groundbreaking new study demonstrates. If confirmed ...

Scientists have grown small blood vessel-like models in the lab and used them to show how damage to the scaffolding that supports these vessels can cause them to leak, leading to conditions such as ...
