Have you ever spilled coffee on a solid surface such as the floor, table or clothing? Most of us have had the experience, but if you have not, or if you are curious, spill just a drop and let it dry ...

A team of UVM scientists led by Mark Nelson, Ph.D., from the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont, has uncovered a novel mechanism that reshapes our understanding of how blood flow ...

In a significant development for brain health, scientists have demonstrated for the first time how hemorrhages can occur due to a faulty interaction between aged red blood cells and narrow capillaries ...

Burlington, Vt.— A team of UVM scientists led by Mark Nelson, Ph.D., from the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont, has uncovered a novel mechanism that reshapes our understanding ...

Cerebral blood delivery depends on mechanisms such as electrical signaling, which propagates through capillary networks to upstream arterioles to deliver blood, and calcium signaling, which fine-tunes ...

Lymphatic capillaries are key to mediating stem cell differentiation in the intestines, and researchers find they produce key proteins to control this mechanism. Epithelial stem cells in the intestine ...

Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from your heart. They have thick walls and a muscular layer that keeps your blood moving. Arteries can be as wide as a nickel (about two centimeters). They are the ...

Broken capillaries—also known as telangiectasia—are tiny, dilated blood vessels that become visible under the skin, especially on the nose, cheeks, and chin. They look like fine red threads or small ...

Some asteroids contain water ice, and a space mission landing on an asteroid may take liquid to the surface of the asteroid. Gas pressure is very weak on the surface of asteroids. Here we consider the ...
