CADASIL: A monogenic condition causing stroke and subcortical vascular dementia [PDF]
Mutations in Notch3 are the cause of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), an inherited small vessel disease leading to subcortical strokes and vascular dementia. The phenotypic presentation

Cryopreservation of vascular tissues [PDF]
Cryopreservation of human blood vessels may become an important tool in bypass surgery and peripheral vascular reconstruction. Ideally cryopreservation of a blood vessel should preserve functional characteristics comparable to those of fresh controls.

Ginsenoside Rg1 promotes endothelialization of tissue-engineered blood vessels in transplanted rats
Objective To prepare the endothelialization-promoting tissue-engineered blood vessels (TEBVs) with encapsulated Ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1) to promote endothelialization, and to evaluate its patency and endothelialization after implantation into the rat common

Modelling aspects of solid cancer growth [PDF]
The modelling of cancer provides an enormous mathematical challenge because of its inherent multiscale nature. For example, in vascular tumours, nutrient is transported by the vascular system, which operates on a tissue level.

Regional diversity in the murine cortical vascular network is revealed by synchrotron X-ray tomography and is amplified with age [PDF]
Cortical bone is permeated by a system of pores, occupied by the blood supply and osteocytes. With ageing, bone mass reduction and disruption of the microstructure are associated with reduced vascular supply.

Substrate stiffness and VE-cadherin mechano-transduction coordinate to regulate endothelial monolayer integrity. [PDF]
The vascular endothelium is subject to diverse mechanical cues that regulate vascular endothelial barrier function. In addition to rigidity sensing through integrin adhesions, mechanical perturbations such as changes in fluid shear stress can also ...
