Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine have achieved a breakthrough by discovering a new type of capillary that is involved in bone remodeling: Type R capillaries.

Researchers from the University of Technology Delft, the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and Caltech have developed a ...

It is returned to the heart in the veins. The capillaries connect the two types of blood vessel, and molecules are exchanged between the blood and the cells across their walls.

There are three types of blood vessel: arteries, veins and capillaries. The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood around your circulatory system. The circulatory system is the heart and all ...

The blue lines represent two ultrasound waves intersecting in an X-shape pattern to scan cells and capillaries in body tissue. The cells and capillary vessels are labelled with ultrasound probes ...

While medical centers use ultrasound daily, so far this technology has not been capable of observing body tissues at the scale of cells. Physicists have now developed a microscopy technique based on ...
