Researchers create human aortic aneurysm model to advance disease understanding, treatment testing
There are currently no medical treatments for thoracic aortic aneurysm. Using human cells in laboratory rats, researchers have developed a functional model of thoracic aortic aneurysm, creating opportunities for more effective understanding of disease development and treatments for the potentially fatal condition, a study suggests.
Advances in the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into vascular cells
Blood vessels constitute a closed pipe system distributed throughout the body, transporting blood from the heart to other organs and delivering metabolic waste products back to the lungs and kidneys. Changes in blood vessels are related to
UTHealth Houston study: Unruptured brain aneurysms may be missed in routine clinical care, but AI-powered algorithm can help
Unruptured cerebral aneurysms of sizes and locations that require attention may be frequently missed in routine clinical care, but a machine learning algorithm could minimize missed care opportunities, according to a new study from UTHealth Houston.

Insomnia may be a risk factor for highly fatal brain aneurysm rupture
Insomnia may be a potential risk factor for a brain bleed from a ruptured aneurysm along with more well known risk factors of smoking and high blood pressure, according to new research published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association, an open access journal of the American Heart Association.
Scientists find vital link to identify people at risk of aneurysms
A new study has measured for the first time a link between variations in size of the brain’s arteries and the likelihood of a cerebral aneurysm, providing scientists with a new screening tool to monitor people at risk.
Attacking Aortic Aneurysms Before They Grow
New basic science research shows what happens to the development of abdominal aortic aneurysms when you inhibit JMJD3 through both genetics and pharmacology.
LLNL develops first-ever living, 3D-bioprinted aneurysm to test surgical treatments
A Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory team, along with their collaborators, has become the first to produce a living, bioprinted aneurysm outside of the human body, perform a medical procedure on it, and observe it respond and heal as it would in an actual human brain.
