Breakthrough in understanding of blood vessel inflammation
Medical scientists at the University of Leicester have announced a breakthrough in their understanding of blood vessel inflammation - a serious condition which underlies health problems like organ failure in sepsis, the ability to recover from burns, and transplant rejection. The team in the Department of Cardiovascular Sciences at the University... view more... (2004-01-19)
Significant dementia risk attributable to small blood vessel damage
Autopsy data of 221 men and women found that the brains of one-third of individuals who had dementia before death showed evidence of small, cumulative blood vessel damage that can arise from hypertension or diabetes. view more (2008-04-07)
Blood vessel cells are instructed to form tube-like structures
How do blood vessel cells understand that they should organise themselves in tubes and not in layers? A research group from Uppsala University shows for the first time that a special type of "instructor" molecule is needed to accomplish this. These findings, published in the scientific journal Blood, might be an important step towards... view more... (2008-08-29)
MU Researchers Identify Proteins that Play Important Role in Blood Vessel Dysfunction in Type 2 Diabetes
According to the American Heart Association, three-fourths of people with diabetes die of some form of heart or blood-vessel disease. view more (2008-10-07)
Anti-fungal drug stops blood vessel growth
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have discovered to their surprise that a drug commonly used to treat toenail fungus can also block angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels commonly seen in cancers. view more (2007-04-30)
Protein deficit impedes recovery after percutaneous angioplasty
If the body contains too little of the protein haptoglobin, the recovery of the blood vessels after percutaneous angioplasty is impeded. The Utrecht researcher Mirjam Smeets suspects that this is one of the reasons why 40 percent of patients who have undergone percutaneous angioplasty experience a new constriction. view more (2003-01-24)
Eyes may provide window to future strokes
Looking into our eyes may help doctors predict who is at risk for stroke. A new study found that people with changes in the small blood vessels in their eyes are more likely to later suffer a stroke than people without these signs. view more (2005-10-11)
U of Minnesota researchers find master gene behind blood vessel development
In a first of its kind discovery, University of Minnesota researchers have identified the "master gene" behind blood vessel development. Better understanding of how this gene operates in the early stages of development may help researchers find better treatments for heart disease and cancer. view more (2009-02-05)
Blood protein may hold key to stopping tumor growth in cancer patients
A recent discovery by researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine could clear the way for a new drug that inhibits tumor growth in cancer patients and could potentially help in the healing of wounds. view more (2009-04-01)
Bristol Scientists Discover New Molecule That Could Prevent Tumour Growth
Scientists at Bristol University have discovered a new molecule that could prevent tumour growth. Dr Dave Bates and Dr Steve Harper in the Microvascular Research Laboratories in the Department of Physiology, working in collaboration with clinicians at Southmead Hospital, have discovered a type of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) found in... view more...

First evidence of gene therapy for abnormal blood vessel growth in newborns
The first evidence of the potential for gene therapy to treat eye disease that stems from abnormal blood vessel growth is revealed in research published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. Gene therapy is a relatively new and much heralded therapeutic approach. But despite the advances in molecular genetics, attempts to target organs or... view more... (2001-07-18)
Protein controls blood vessel formation, offers new drug target
After an injury, the body grows new blood vessels to repair damaged tissue. But sometimes too much growth causes problems, as when new blood vessels in the eyes leak, causing diabetic retinopathy and blindness if not treated. view more (2007-12-05)
Scientists discover how body fights to control spread of cancer
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have found how two molecules fight in the blood to control the spread of cancer cells. view more (2007-01-09)
Building the lymphatic drainage system
Our bodies' tissues need continuous irrigation and drainage. Blood vessels feeding the tissues bring in the fluids, and drainage occurs via the lymphatic system. While much is known about how blood vessels are built, the same was not true for lymph vessels. view more (2009-04-27)
Intrinsic eye protein halts angiogenesis
Dr. Jayakrishna Ambati, of the University of Kentucky, and Dr. Balamurali Ambati, of the Medical College of Georgia, have jointly published a paper in the journal Nature detailing major research discoveries in corneal avascularity and angiogenesis. view more (2006-10-19)
Novel computer model for blood flow could help doctors predict arterial disease
A unique computer model of how blood flows in human arteries has been developed by researchers in the UK. The model could help doctors understand the stresses that blood places on the walls of vessels and provide new insights into vascular disease. The work has been carried out by Dr Yun Xu together with Dr Simon Thom and Professor Alun Hughes at... view more... (2000-10-19)
A new jump start for aging blood vessels
Recent studies show promise for significantly reducing vascular aging by inactivating TNFa, which has been linked to blood vessel dysfunction and cell death. The related report by Csiszar et al., "Vasculoprotective effects of anti-TNFa treatment in aging," appears in the January issue of The American Journal of Pathology. view more (2006-12-28)
Researchers identify gene associated with muscular dystrophy-related vision problems
Skeletal muscle disease and vision deficits might seem unrelated, but a frog model of muscular dystrophy shows it is not such a leap. view more (2009-04-21)
Discovery of natural compounds that could slow blood vessel growth
Using computer models and live cell experiments, biomedical engineers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have discovered more than 100 human protein fragments that can slow or stop the growth of cells that make up new blood vessels. view more (2008-10-06)
Drawing a crowd: How progenitor cells are recruited to tumor blood vessels from the bone marrow
Cells within the bone marrow (progenitor cells) that express a protein called CD34 have been shown to leave the marrow and travel to sites of tissue injury to mediate repair. view more (2006-02-24)
