This study convincingly shows that aquaporin-mediated cell migration plays a key role in blood vessel formation during zebrafish development. In particular, the paper implicates hydrostatic pressure ...

"If one mechanism fails, the other mechanism will still be running to ensure that blood vessels form," notes Phng. More information: Igor Kondrychyn et al, Combined forces of hydrostatic pressure ...

The flow of water helps drive the formation of new blood vessels in zebrafish Figure 1: A confocal light micrograph showing blood vessels in a three-day-old zebrafish (magenta: endothelial cells of ...

Fibre-reinforced pressure vessels are increasingly becoming the cornerstone of the hydrogen economy, playing a key role in the transport, storage and use of hydrogen for both mobile and stationary ...

Importantly, the major biomechanical properties of the heart and circulatory system, including cardiac contraction, ventriculo-vascular coupling, large artery stiffness, and microvasculature ...

Blood pressure and heart rate (pulse) are two important vital signs measured during a healthcare visit. Blood pressure (BP) is a measure of the force of blood on the blood vessel walls. Blood vessels ...

Hypotension is low blood pressure. When you have hypotension, the pressure of circulating blood against the walls of your blood vessels is lower than it should be. Blood pressure below 90/60 mm Hg is ...

U.K.-based offshore wind crew transfer vessel (CTV) owner Tidal Transit has secured equity financing from maritime and logistics investor HICO Investment Group to expand its fleet with six new ...
