Researchers build first-ever molecular atlas of blood vessel pathways in the human brain, across early brain development, adulthood and disease

A team of researchers has created a molecular atlas of the human brain's vasculature, revealing how endothelial cells regulate interactions between the bloodstream and surrounding tissues. The study provides insights into the growth patterns of blood vessels in early development, adulthood, and disease stages.

If you can't beat them, mock them

A team of researchers from Kyoto University has developed a microfluidic co-culture vasculature chip that mimics the microenvironment of alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS), a rare cancer. The chip enables scientists to study cell-to-cell interactions and angiogenic mechanisms, which may lead to new strategies for treating ASPS patients.

Revolutionizing gastric cancer treatment through personalized 3D bioprinting

Researchers have developed a vascularized organoid model (VOM) that accurately replicates the actual vasculature and environment of gastric cancer, enabling patient-specific predictions of response to anticancer drugs. The VOM demonstrates high cell viability rates and similarity to actual gastric cancer conditions.
