Cancer drugs my build and not tear down blood vessels
Scientists have thought that one way to foil a tumor from generating blood vessels to feed its growth - a process called angiogenesis - was by creating drugs aimed at stopping a key vessel growth-promoting protein. But now the opposite seems to be true. view more (2008-11-10)
Statins may treat blood vessel disorder that can lead to fatal strokes
In a finding that could save thousands of lives a year, University of Utah School of Medicine researchers have shown that a blood vessel disorder leading to unpredictable, sometimes fatal, hemorrhagic strokes, seizures, paralysis or other problems is treatable with the same statin drugs that millions of people take to control high cholesterol. view more (2009-01-27)
New angiogenesis finding may help fight cancer growth
A researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health has discovered a new part of the complicated mechanism that governs the formation of blood vessels, or angiogenesis. view more (2006-09-29)
Stanford doctors advance in bid to turn mice stem cells into blood vessels
Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have taken a first step toward growing blood vessels from stem cells that could eventually be transplanted into living organisms. view more (2006-06-22)
Pitt-led Research Provides Insight Into Development of Common Congenital Circulatory Defects
University of Pittsburgh-led researchers could provide new insight into how two common congenital circulatory problems-aortic arch deformity and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs)-develop in humans, as reported in the June 15 edition of Developmental Biology. view more (2008-07-09)
Fat rat enables studies of debilitating vascular disease
A mutant rat that mimics a 400-pound human is helping scientists understand early vascular changes that make walking a pain for more than 2 million Americans. view more (2005-10-10)
Like burrs on your clothes, molecule-size capsules can deliver drugs by sticking to targeted cells
It is now possible to engineer tiny containers the size of a virus to deliver drugs and other materials with almost 100 percent efficiency to targeted cells in the bloodstream. view more (2009-06-26)
Blood vessels might predict prostate cancer behavior
A diagnosis of prostate cancer raises the question for patients and their physicians as to how the tumor will behave. Will it grow quickly and aggressively and require continuous treatment, or slowly, allowing therapy and its risks to be safely delayed? view more (2009-11-04)
How chemotherapy drugs block blood vessel growth, slow cancer spread
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have discovered how a whole class of commonly used chemotherapy drugs can block cancer growth. view more (2009-01-23)
Combined imaging approach may provide better identification of difficult-to-diagnose brain clots
University of Cincinnati (UC) neuroradiologists believe a brain imaging approach that combines standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans with specialized contrast-enhanced techniques could lead to more effective diagnoses in patients with difficult-to-detect blood clots in veins of the brain. view more (2007-04-09)
Gap junction protein vital to successful pregnancy, researchers find
Researchers studying a critical stage of pregnancy - implantation of the embryo in the uterus - have found a protein that is vital to the growth of new blood vessels that sustain the embryo. Without this protein, which is produced in higher quantities in the presence of estrogen, the embryo is unlikely to survive. view more (2008-09-11)
Scientists Uncover Potential Key to Brain Blood-Flow Disorders
Scientists at the University of Vermont have clarified the cellular process responsible for signaling regional blood flow changes in the brain, thereby uncovering possible causes for such disorders as stroke, migraine, and Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-01-04)
Scientists uncover the potential to control adult stem cells
Research being presented today (10 April) at the UK National Stem Cell Network Annual Science Meeting in Edinburgh represents a step towards the use of Adult Stem Cells (ASCs) to repair damaged tissue. view more (2008-04-10)
Child-proof: Brain mapping safer for children than previously thought, Hopkins study shows
Dispelling a stubborn myth, researchers at Johns Hopkins have shown that children with strokes, brain tumors and other cerebrovascular diseases can safely undergo a potentially life-saving brain-mapping test that many doctors have long shunned over concerns for side effects. view more (2006-10-09)
Drug compound restores youth to aging arterial cells in elderly hypertensives, Hopkins study shows
A compound called alagebrium, which is very similar to another used in anti-wrinkle creams, may be useful in reducing the deleterious effects of arterial aging in the majority of elderly Americans with systolic hypertension. view more (2005-11-16)
Diesel exhaust is linked to cancer development via new blood vessel growth
Scientists here have demonstrated that the link between diesel fume exposure and cancer lies in how diesel exhaust induces the growth of new blood vessels that supply solid tumors. The researchers found that in both healthy and diseased animals, more new blood vessels sprouted in mice exposed to diesel exhaust than did in mice exposed to clean,... view more... (2009-09-03)
Research Reveals Exercise Before Fatty Christmas Meal Helps Curb Bad Effects
Research by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) and the University of Glasgow suggests a long walk before your fatty Christmas dinner could help reduce the damage done by the inevitable festive over-indulgence. view more (2004-12-16)
Study in Nature: MicroRNAs hold promise for treating diseases in blood vessels
A newly discovered mechanism controls whether muscle cells in blood vessels hasten the development of both atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease, according to an article published online today in the journal Nature. view more (2009-07-06)
Flavanols key to potential chocolate benefits
Phytochemicals known as flavanols, which are found in chocolate, fruits and vegetables, can boost the levels of nitric oxide in the blood of smokers and reverse some of their smoking-related impairment in blood vessel function. view more (2005-09-29)
Measuring and modeling blood flow in malaria
When people have malaria, they are infected with Plasmodium parasites, which enter the body from the saliva of a mosquito, infect cells in the liver, and then spread to red blood cells. view more (2009-11-23)
