Exercise, Arterial Stiffness, and Cerebral Vascular Function: Potential Impact on Brain Health

Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society, 2021
Exercise is associated with higher cognitive function and is a promising intervention to reduce the risk of dementia. With advancing age, there are changes in the vasculature that have important clinical implications for brain health and cognition ...

Abnormal wave reflections and left ventricular hypertrophy late after coarctation of the aorta repair [PDF]

, 2017
Patients with repaired coarctation of the aorta are thought to have increased afterload due to abnormalities in vessel structure and function. We have developed a novel cardiovascular magnetic resonance protocol that allows assessment of central ...

3D (Bio) Printing Combined Fiber Fabrication Methods for Tissue Engineering Applications: Possibilities and Limitations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Effects of biomechanical and biochemical stimuli on angio- and vasculogenesis in a complex microvasculature-on-chip

iScience, 2023
Summary: The endothelium of blood vessels is a vital organ that reacts differently to subtle changes in stiffness and mechanical forces exerted on its environment (extracellular matrix (ECM)).

Smart, Bio‐Inspired Polymers and Bio‐Based Molecules Modified by Zwitterionic Motifs to Design Next‐Generation Materials for Medical Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

Arterial Stiffness and Vascular Load in HFpEF: Differences Among Women and Men.

Journal of Cardiac Failure, 2021
BACKGROUND Mechanisms underlying sex differences in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are poorly understood. We sought to examine sex differences in measures of arterial stiffness and the association of arterial stiffness measures ...

Vascular self-healing of a reinforced concrete beams under 4-point bending [PDF]

, 2017
Self-healing materials are inspired on self-healing capabilities of living organisms. For plants, animals and people, the vascular system that distributes nutrients to all parts of the organism is also key for the self-healing capability.

3D‐Printed Porous Hydroxyapatite Formed via Enzymatic Mineralization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bone combines lightness, strength, and the ability to heal, inspiring new materials design. This work introduces a room‐temperature, enzyme‐mediated 3D printing method to create porous hydroxyapatite scaffolds. The process avoids energy‐intensive sintering, preserves bioactivity, and allows control over porosity and mineralization.

Ultrasonographic vascular mechanics to assess arterial stiffness: a review [PDF]

European Heart Journal – Cardiovascular Imaging, 2015
In recent years, the role of arterial stiffness in the development of cardiovascular diseases has been explored more extensively. Local arterial stiffness may be gauged via ultrasound, measuring pulse transit time relative to changing vessel diameters and distending pressures. Recently, direct vessel-wall tracking systems have been devised based on new
