Diabetic macrovascular complications are the main cause of death and disability in diabetes patients, of which vascular calcification is one of the key pathological mechanisms. Calcification in ...

A new study from the University of Alabama at Birmingham addressing this mechanism has been selected as one of only two feature articles in the April 2026 issue of Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to grow specialized blood vessel ...

The endothelium lining the valve plays a critical role. It’s very important whether the valve consists of two or three leaflets. There is currently no way to stop calcification of the aortic valve. If ...

Biomedical engineers use iPSCs to grow specialized retinal endothelial cells, successfully regenerating damaged eye blood ...

Preclinical study showed iRECs Integrated into host vascular network and revascularized the ischemic eye, rescuing the tissue.

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to grow specialized blood vessel cells critical to retinal health for the first time. When injected into mouse ...
