New and unique shear stress patterns can occur in angiogenic capillary (new blood vessel growth) networks, according to a new study titled "Angiogenic microvascular wall shear stress patterns revealed ...

Many diseases arise from abnormalities in our capillaries, tiny exquisitely branching blood vessel networks that play a critical role in tissue health. Researchers have learned a lot about the ...
