LUMENating Blood Vessels [PDF]

Developmental Cell, 2011
The acquisition of a lumen is an essential step in vascular morphogenesis. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Xu et al. (2011) show that the small GTPase Rasip is a critical regulator of cytoskeleton dynamics and cell adhesion, which together drive the emergence of vascular lumens.

Video-rate 3D Particle Tracking with Extended Depth-of-field in Thick Biological Samples [PDF]

, 2017
We present a single-aperture 3D particle localisation and tracking technique with a vastly increased depth-of-field without compromising optical resolution and throughput. Flow measurements in a FEP capillary and a zebrafish blood vessel are demonstrated

Microfluidic Fabrication of Biomimetic Helical Hydrogel Microfibers for Blood‐Vessel‐on‐a‐Chip Applications

Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2019
Nature has created many perfect helical microstructures, including DNA, collagen fibrils, and helical blood vessels, to achieve unique physiological functions. While previous studies have developed a number of microfabrication strategies, the preparation

Metabolic syndrome and its components reduce coronary collateralization in chronic total occlusion: An observational study

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2021
Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is an independent risk factor for the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. We investigated whether or to what extent MetS and its components was associated with coronary collateralization (CC) in chronic total ...

Microstructured Thin Film Nitinol for a Neurovascular Flow-Diverter [PDF]

, 2016
A cerebral aneurysm occurs as a result of a weakened blood vessel, which allows blood to flow into a sac or a ballooned section. Recent advancement shows that a new device, ‘flow-diverter’, can divert blood flow away from the aneurysm sac.

Hyperuricemia and smoking in young adults suspected of coronary artery disease ≤ 35 years of age: a hospital-based observational study

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2018
Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) is showing an increasing trend in young adults. Cigarette smoking has been shown to be a major cause of premature CAD. Previous studies have also shown that hyperuricemia (HUA) is associated with CAD; however, the

Characterization of Laser-Resistant Port Wine Stain Blood Vessels Using In Vivo Reflectance Confocal Microscopy. [PDF]

, 2019
Background and objectivesPort wine stain (PWS) is a congenital vascular malformation of the human skin. Laser is the treatment of choice for PWS. Laser-resistant PWS is one crucial factor accounting for inadequate treatment outcome, which needs to be ...

Staged complete revascularization or culprit-only percutaneous coronary intervention for multivessel coronary artery disease in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and diabetes

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2019
Background Recently, several randomized trials have noted improved outcomes with staged percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of nonculprit vessels in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease.
