1 day ago · Stress granules play an unsuspected role in blood vessel formation. A study published in Nature Communications raises new hope for the development of treatments for vascular disease, cancer and diabetic retinopathy. The behaviour of the cells that make up our blood vessels is crucial to our well-being. Conditions such as inflammation, oxygen ...

5 days ago · The cardiovascular system of the leg and foot includes all of the blood vessels that provide blood flow to and from the tissues of the lower limb. These blood vessels supply vital oxygen and nutrients to support cellular metabolism in the lower limb while transporting carbon dioxide and metabolic wastes back to the trunk to be removed from the ...
