Blood vessels in the lungs aren't like the others in the body. This difference becomes clear in pulmonary hypertension, in which only the lungs' blood vessels stiffen progressively, leading to ...

UCLA researchers have successfully grown miniature lungs from stem cells—complete with their own functioning blood vessel networks. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news ...

They found that hypertensive pulmonary blood vessel cells have a voracious appetite for two amino acids, glutamine and serine, and - as happens with any unbalanced diet - there are consequences.

Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to every other organ, and blood-forming stem cells must make about 200 billion new red blood cells each day to keep the oxygen flowing. For many years, ...

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - Most people are familiar with doctors using a cuff around the wrist to check blood pressure, a practice that can detect systemic hypertension. Dr. Lisa Rose-Jones, with ...
