Researchers at Texas A&M University say they have developed a customizable “vessel-chip” that recreates the complex shapes of human blood vessels—including branches, aneurysm-like bulges and stenosis-like narrowings—so scientists can study how altered blood flow affects endothelial cells and evaluate potential treatments without relying on animal models.
Award-winning professor Chen Weiqiang has left New York University to join Nanjing University’s School of Biomedical Engineering. A welcome ceremony was held for him at the Suzhou campus on June 11.

Biomedical engineers at Texas A&M University have used nanoflowers to make stem cells produce roughly twice the usual number of mitochondria. These enhanced stem cells then transfer the extra energy-producing organelles to damaged or aging cells, restoring their energy production and resilience in lab studies, according to a new report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
