Mayo Clinic researchers use magnetic attraction to improve stents, reduce blood clot risk
Mayo Clinic heart researchers have devised a new strategy to improve the effectiveness and safety of heart stents, which are used to open narrowed blood vessels and have been the recent subject of clotting concerns. view more (2006-11-03)
The vasculature emerges as a potential therapeutic target in treating ADPKD liver cysts
As part of an effort to develop effective medical therapies that block the progression of liver cyst growth in patients with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Center have found that the liver cyst walls develop and maintain a vasculature as they grow out from the body... view more...

Study supports reason for concern in childhood and adolescent obesity
Study findings presented at the May 2008 Pediatric Academic Societies and Asian Society for Pediatric Research Joint Meeting indicate that childhood and adolescent obesity negatively impacts vascular endothelial function, which relates to cardiac health. view more (2008-05-12)
Last step leading to blood cell formation elucidated
These new insights represent an important contribution to future clinical therapeutic approaches. view more (2009-04-02)
Study explains why patients with OSA are at higher risk for cardiovascular disease
Researchers have found that patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have higher levels of a type of dead cells (apoptotic cells) from the lining (endothelium) of their blood vessels circulating in their bloodstream than people who do not have OSA. view more (2007-06-01)
Breakthrough in understanding of hereditary disease of lymphatic vessels
(Helsinki, August 22nd) -- A study from the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR) Affiliate Center at the University of Helsinki in Finland has shed light on the development of lymphatic vasculature and valves, and may help to develop better treatments for lymphedema. The disease, which results from damaged or absent lymphatic vessels, may... view more... (2004-08-19)
Humble yeast sheds light on promising anti-cancer drug
The humble yeast has revealed the molecular workings of an anti-cancer drug that stops the growth and spread of tumours in humans by starving their blood supply. view more (2005-10-19)
Molecule helps cells plug leaks following lung injury
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine have identified a molecule that plays a critical role in the recovery of lung tissue following severe injury. view more (2006-09-15)
Use of statins shows improvement in erectile performance of some men
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine say preliminary results of a small study show promise in improving erectile dysfunction (ED) in men who had shown minimal reaction to Viagra. view more (2006-02-22)
Gladstone scientists identify single microRNA that controls blood vessel development
Scientists from the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) and UCSF have identified a key regulatory factor that controls development of the human vascular system, the extensive network of arteries, veins, and capillaries that allow blood to reach all tissues and organs. view more (2008-08-12)
A Possible Mechanism For Pre-eclampsia? (p 1511)
Results of a preliminary study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that there may be future tests to determine whether pregnant women are at risk of developing pre-eclampsia, a serious disorder of late pregnancy. Up to 8% of pregnant women develop pre-eclampsia (pregnancy-induced high blood pressure and presence of protein in the urine,... view more... (2003-04-30)
UVa Scientists Hot on Trail of Therapies for Deadly Lung Failure
Researchers at the University of Virginia Health System have identified a molecular target, or receptor, for potential drugs to treat acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a sudden and life-threatening failure of the lung. view more (2006-02-22)
UIC researchers make promising finding in severe lung disease
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have identified a novel function for an enzyme that plays a role in the tissue injury in acute respiratory distress syndrome, also known as ARDS. view more (2008-06-30)
Understanding how oxidative stress impairs endothelial progenitor cell function
Although its been over a decade since endothelial progenitor cells or EPCs, cells that circulate in the blood repairing and replacing the cells that line blood vessels, were identified, the field is still evolving. view more (2008-11-26)
Study finds blocking angiogenesis signaling from inside cell may lead to serious health problems
Angiogenesis inhibitors that block a tumor's development of an independent blood supply have been touted as effective cancer fighters that result in fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy. view more (2007-08-24)
Ultra-low-dose aspirin might decrease bleeding severity in portal hypertension
In rats with portal hypertension, ultra-low-dose aspirin has shown a normalizing effect of platelet-endothelial cell alterations and bleeding time. Further, this effect is mediated by Cyclooxygenase 2 inhibition. view more (2007-10-10)
Mass. General researchers identify master cardiac stem cell
Researchers from the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Cardiovascular Research Center have discovered what appears to be a master cardiac stem cell, capable of differentiating into the three major types of cells that make up the mammalian heart. view more (2006-11-27)
The benefits of green tea in reducing an important risk factor for heart disease
More evidence for the beneficial effect of green tea on risk factors for heart disease has emerged in a new study reported in the latest issue of European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation. view more (2008-07-02)
Researchers learn how blood vessel cells cope with their pressure-packed job
UCSD researchers stretched cells in a workout chamber the size of a credit card to gain a better understanding of how repetitive stretching of endothelial cells that line arteries can make them healthy and resistant to vascular diseases. view more (2005-10-26)
Japanese Researchers Get to the Heart of Atherosclerosis
Using positron emission tomography (PET), the medical isotope 15O-water and cold pressor tests, Japanese researchers were able to detect the beginnings of atherosclerosis—before the disease became clinically evident. view more (2006-06-05)
