Engineered human capillaries are providing an astounding view of how red blood cells transit ultra-small blood vessels. This new platform was used in a recent study to learn how severe malaria ...

EKF Diagnostics, the global in vitro diagnostics company, has published an Educational Guide which provides a quick overview of capillary blood sampling best practice. It aims to help healthcare ...

The purpose is to use laws of physics to elucidate the mechanisms behind capillary non-perfusion in diabetic retinopathy. In diabetic retinopathy, loss of pericytes weakens capillary walls and the ...

The specimen of choice that enables the collection of small blood volumes from neonatal or critically ill patients is a capillary blood specimen. This specimen type has gained favour with many ...

The brain is perhaps the most sensitive organ with respect to changes in blood flow and oxygen supply. Even brief interruptions in capillary flow (or "stalling") can indicate acute neurological issues ...

New research on tiny capillaries and cells called pericytes details how blood moves through over 400 miles of total vasculature in the human brain. While the human brain has over 400 miles of total ...

More than 40 billion capillaries — tiny, hair-like blood vessels — are tasked with carrying oxygen and nutrients to the far reaches of the human body. But despite their sheer number and monumental ...
