The purpose is to use laws of physics to elucidate the mechanisms behind capillary non-perfusion in diabetic retinopathy. In diabetic retinopathy, loss of pericytes weakens capillary walls and the ...

When water vapour spontaneously condenses inside capillaries just 1 nm across, it behaves according to the 150-year-old Kelvin equation – defying predictions that this pre-quantum-era formula would ...

(a) Device schematic. (b) Cross-sectional view of the device for illustrating the generation of standing bulk acoustic waves with a pressure node at the top capillary wall, which can push a cell ...

Blood is pumped from the heart in the arteries. 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 ...

Indiana University researchers have detected new early-warning signs of the potential loss of sight associated with diabetes. This discovery could have far-reaching implications for the diagnosis and ...
