Angiogenesis, ie the development and growth of blood vessels, is a major topic of research
as it plays an important role in normal development and in various pathologies. Recent …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The aim of this study was to identify protective mechanisms of cold
machine perfusion in liver grafts donated after cardiac death. METHODS: Pig livers exposed …

The liver is not only the largest organ in the body but also the one playing one of the most
important role in the human metabolism as it is in charge of transforming toxic substances in …

Machine perfusion (MP) preservation is potentially one of the most significant improvements
in the field of liver transplantation in the last 20 years, and it has been considered a …

Although a full understanding of the hepatic circulation is one of the keys to successfully
perform liver surgery and to elucidate liver pathology, relatively little is known about the …

Mimicking angiogenetic processes in vascular territories acquires importance in the analysis
of the multi-scale circulatory cascade and the coupling between blood flow and cell function …

Absolute uterine factor infertility, or the absence of a functional uterus, has a prevalence of
3%–5% in the general population. Despite the great strides being made in reproductive …

The perfusion of the liver microcirculation is often analyzed in terms of idealized functional
units (hexagonal liver lobules) based on a porous medium approach. More elaborate …

Background & Aims End-ischemic hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HOPE) of
the donor liver for 1–2 h mitigates ischemia-reperfusion injury during subsequent liver …

The liver plays a key role in the metabolic homeostasis of the whole organism. To carry out
its functions, it is endowed with a peculiar circulatory system, made of three main dendritic …
