Branches and bends of arteries are exposed to complex blood flow patterns that generate low or oscillatory endothelial shear stress, which impairs glycocalyx integrity, cytoskeleton arrangement and ...

A recent study from the University of Bristol has uncovered a promising new method to slow the progression of diabetic kidney ...

Pilot projects are research projects carried out by doctoral researchers and postdocs from working groups in the Cells in Motion Interfaculty Centre. In interdisciplinary teams, they can plan and ...

Maus, MD, PhD, at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston One way cancer cells evade immune attack is by constructing a thin material barrier called the glycocalyx on their surface to evade ...

The glycocalyx, a complex mesh of glycoproteins and polysaccharides enveloping the surface of various cells, has emerged as a pivotal element in both health and disease. This ubiquitous structure is ...

Today, the pursuit of improved health outcomes and equitable healthcare access for all people worldwide has never been more critical—or more possible. In WPI’s MS in Global Health, you’ll learn how to ...

Tick bites allow disease-causing microbes, including multiple species of Rickettsia bacteria, to pass from arthropods to humans. Being exposed to Rickettsia parkeri, for example, can cause a scab at ...
