A team of UVM scientists led by Mark Nelson, Ph.D., from the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont, has uncovered a novel mechanism that reshapes our understanding of how blood flow ...

Blood vessels are like big-city highways; full of curves, branches, merges, and congestion. Yet for years, lab models replicated vessels like straight, simple roads. To better capture the complex ...

Researchers have developed a laser-based device that can measure blood flow noninvasively and differentiate stroke risk based on current physiological conditions. When physicians want to know more ...

Researchers developed a wearable device that can be used for non-invasive stroke risk assessment. The device uses speckle contrast optical spectroscopy to track changes in blood flow and volume in the ...

Jennifer Lee, a biomedical engineering master’s student at Texas A&M University, joined Dr. Abhishek Jain’s lab and designed an advanced vessel-chip that could replicate variations in vascular ...

Blood flow restriction training—once a niche rehabilitation method used primarily by physical therapists—has quietly transformed into one of fitness’s most intriguing innovations. This technique uses ...

Based in Tampa, Florida, Virginia Pelley is a former women's magazine editor who has written health and fitness content for Men's Journal, Cosmopolitan magazine, the Chicago Tribune, ...

Subclavian steal syndrome occurs when blood flow reverses in one of the arteries supplying blood to the neck, head, and arms. The condition is usually caused by a narrowing in one of the arteries and ...

Subtle changes in brain blood flow and oxygen use are closely linked to hallmark signs of Alzheimer’s, including amyloid plaques and memory-related brain shrinkage. Simple, noninvasive scans may one ...
