The study suggests that bursting red blood cells, not blood clots, are the culprits. The microvasculature, the body’s network of tiny blood vessels, is critical for delivering oxygen and nutrients to ...

The formation of blood vessels is a complex process involving the interplay of proteins and mechanic forces. In two studies, a research team has uncovered new mechanisms in blood vessel formation. The ...

Type 2 diabetes becomes more dangerous to the heart the longer a person has it. Researchers found that after several years, red blood cells can begin interfering with healthy blood vessel function.

Blood clots are among the most feared medical emergencies, and for good reason. They can lead to heart attacks, strokes and death. But not all clots are dangerous. In fact, clotting is a natural and ...
