About

    Microvascular networks refer to the intricate network of small blood vessels, known as capillaries, arterioles, and venules, that supply blood to tissues and organs throughout the body. These networks play a crucial role in delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells, as well as removing waste products. Research in the field of microvascular networks focuses on understanding the structure and function of these networks, including how they adapt and remodel in response to various physiological and pathological conditions. This research can provide insights into diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disorders, and may lead to the development of new therapies for these conditions. Studies may involve imaging techniques, computational modeling, and experimental manipulation of microvessels to further elucidate their role in health and disease.
