The pathological process of glomerulonephritis (GN) includes glomerular capillary damage, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has an important role in glomerular capillary repair in GN. We ...

To characterize an irregular capillary-like structure in the vascular network of eyes with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), and to determine whether its presence after photodynamic therapy ...

All it takes is the flip of a protein "switch" within the tiny wire-like capillaries of the brain to increase the blood flow that ensures optimal brain function. New research has uncovered that ...

VIENNA — OCT angiography offers for the first time the possibility to study in vivo the architecture of the retinal capillary network and to image separately the superficial and deep capillary plexus.

New research has uncovered that capillaries have the capacity to both sense brain activity and generate an electrical vasodilatory signal to evoke blood flow and direct nutrients to neurons. All it ...

The brain's vascular network, shown in this image, consists of arteries, which penetrate into the brain to feed a vast capillary network, which is then drained by veins. Disclaimer: AAAS and ...
