Physicists have now developed a microscopy technique based on ultrasound to reveal capillaries and cells across living organs -- something that wasn't possible before. Ultrasound is one of the ...

Its smallest capillaries, comprised of a single endothelial cell layer, must stay flexible to let fluid and immune cells pass while resisting rupture under pressure. These cells have a distinctive ...

A protein that is expressed on capillary endothelial cells, called GPIHBP1 (glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored high-density lipoprotein binding protein 1), binds lipoprotein lipase and shuttles ...

They also show that VECs differentiate into capillary cells, and that this remodeling is a response to lung injury, not one that occurs during normal lung development after birth. These findings ...

Researchers discover that capillary obstruction in diabetes, triggered by elevated interleukin-10 signaling, may contribute to cognitive deficits independent of blood sugar levels. Study: A ...

Their new paper shows that venous endothelial cells can help fix damaged blood vessels in the lungs. The researchers found that following influenza, COVID, and hyperoxia injury, VECs proliferate into ...

The blue lines represent two ultrasound waves intersecting in an X-shape pattern to scan cells and capillaries in body tissue. The cells and capillary vessels are labelled with ultrasound probes ...

In addition to revealing cells, the team used ultrasound and microbubbles as probes circulating in the bloodstream to detect brain capillaries. Heiles notes, "To our knowledge, nonlinear sound ...
