The big blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are known as arteries. When blood is pumped out of the heart, it first travels through the largest artery in the body, the aorta, and then into a networ
Cell therapy has emerged as a viable approach for treating damaged organs or tissues, particularly with advancements in stem cell research and regenerative medicine. The innovative technique of cell sheet engineering offers the potential to create a cell
The schematic diagram of ROIs of two representative examples is displayed in Fig. 2. Fig. 2 Tumor segmentation and peritumoral expansion of two representative examples on BMUS, SE and SWE images. The ROItumor represents the intratumoral region. The ROI0.5 mm, ROI1.0 mm, ROI1.5 mm and ROI...

inside of the heart wall. These clots may break off and travel to different organs in the body (embolize), blocking blood vessels and causing the affected organs to malfunction because of the loss of blood supply. A common complication is a clot traveling to the brain, resulting in astroke...
Name the muscles labeled 32, 34, 36, 38, and 44 in the diagram below. What are examples of analogous structures? Distinguish the various functions of the skeletal system. Why are the biceps classified as skeletal muscles? Describe the heart's own blood supply (to and from the heart muscle...
The papillary vs. reticular layer of the dermis differ in their function. While the two layers work together to provide the collagen and elastin to give skin its elasticity, the layer differs in their contents. The papillary layer consists of blood vessels that dilate or contract in response to...
Explain each with a diagram. (a) Describe the different types of blood cells (both red and white types). (b) What is the purpose of each? List the three major categories of blood cells and describe each. Identify and describe the types and functions of the blood vessels. Name three...
As tissue repair begins, M2 Macrophages work towards reducing inflammation at the site and assist in the restoration of damaged blood vessels. The ability of macrophages to regulate the inflammatory response is vital, as uncontrolled inflammation may result in autoimmune and chronic inflammatory ...
including M2 macrophages, plasma cells, Tregs, and Tfh cells (Fig.S7E). This CRC subtype is also characterized by a significant activation of EMT, TGF-β, WNT, and VEGF signaling pathways (Fig.S7F), which are conducive to tumor invasion into the stroma and formation of blood vessels [71...
