Local hemodynamics are an important factor in atherosclerosis, from the development of
early lesions, to the assessment of stroke risk, to determining the ultimate fate of a mature …

Through oxygen-dependent release of the vasodilator ATP, the mobile erythrocyte plays a
fundamental role in matching microvascular oxygen supply with local tissue oxygen …

The cortical angioarchitecture is a key factor in controlling cerebral blood flow and oxygen
metabolism. Difficulties in imaging the complex microanatomy of the cortex have so far …

Most of the existing mathematical models for tumour growth and tumour-induced
angiogenesis neglect blood flow. This is an important factor on which both nutrient and …

Abnormalities of the retinal microcirculation are found in hypertension and diabetes and
predict cardiovascular mortality. This study examined the relationship between …

Purpose: To investigate the association of vessel tortuosity with severity of diabetic
retinopathy (DR) using optical coherence tomography angiography. Methods: We …

Objective: Detailed information on microvascular network anatomy is a requirement for
understanding several aspects of microcirculation, including oxygen transport, distributions …

We present a method to produce vascular disruptions within rat brain parenchyma that
targets single microvessels. We used two-photon microscopy to image vascular architecture …

Fabrication of vascular networks within engineered tissue remains one of the greatest
challenges facing the fields of biomaterials and tissue engineering. Historically, the …

Delivery of oxygen to tissue is an essential function of the circulatory system. The distance
that oxygen can diffuse into oxygen-consuming tissue is small, and so tissue oxygenation is …
