Gene is likely cause of stroke-inducing vascular malformations
UCSF scientists have discovered that a gene controlling whether blood vessels differentiate into arteries or veins during embryonic development is linked to a vascular disorder in the brain that causes stroke. view more (2008-09-03)
Early Promise For Dementia Drug (pp 1265, 1283)
Encouraging short-term results of a randomised trial in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that the drug galantamine could offer therapeutic benefits to people with Alzheimer's disease with cerebrovascular disease and in those with probable vascular dementia. Vascular dementia-dementia caused by multiple strokes or other cerebrovascular... view more... (2002-04-10)
SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN DEATH RATE AFTER BYPASS SURGERY FOR PEOPLE WITH ANAEMIA (p 1749)
Anaemic patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery could have up to a five-fold increased risk of death in the days after surgery compared with patients who have normal haemoglobin concentrations, suggest authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. People with anaemia (individuals with a haemoglobin concentration of... view more... (2002-05-15)

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine investigators have engineered artificial blood vessels from muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) and a biodegradable polymer that exhibit extensive remodeling and remain free of blockages when grafted into rats. view more (2007-06-18)
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)
There goes the neighborhood: Vascular niche nurtures brain tumor stem cells
Self-renewing cancer stem cells (CSCs) comprise only a tiny fraction of most brain tumors, but eliminating them is likely to have a profound impact on the ability of a tumor to survive and grow. view more (2007-01-17)
