Vasculature

Our observation of relatively low levels of VEGF in the innermost retinal layers and the fact that systemic VEGF expression does not influence the inner retinal vasculature, which is not fenestrated but is the site of the blood neural barrier, are consistent with the idea that high local VEGF levels reflect a particular dependence on VEGF, which renders them particularly sensitive to systemic VEGF blockade. ❋ Magali Saint-Geniez Et Al.

I was having a conversation with my mom a few months ago and couldn't come up with any other word than 'vasculature'. ❋ StyleyGeek (2007)

Her knife stops once the pinkish outer layer is removed, and a yellow sheath lined through by blue and red vasculature is left. ❋ Lorenzo Sewanan (2011)

The researchers took digital photos of the vasculature in the back of each child's eye and calculated the average vessel width. ❋ Unknown (2011)

This effect allows aspirin to inhibit granulocyte adherence to damaged vasculature, stabilize lysosomes and inhibit the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and macrophages to the site of inflammation. ❋ Unknown (2010)

After sunbathing, these oils need to be absorbed into the skin and to enter the tiny blood vessels called the dermal vasculature, so the deal is not to shower for at least eight hours after sun exposure. ❋ M.D. Nicholas Perricone (2010)

In this carrier system, they are able to penetrate all layers of the skin, reaching the subdermal vasculature, where they enter the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body. ❋ M.D. Nicholas Perricone (2010)

When this occurs, it is hypothesized that venous blood within the vessels of the palmar aspect of the foot is forced into the micro venous vasculature within the vascular channels of the ungular cartilage of the foot. ❋ Unknown (2009)

"When you cut off the vasculature, a tumor develops a much more sophisticated way of developing that's going to be much more aggressive." ❋ Matthew Herper (2009)

Dr Meadows and colleagues examine the role of Akt signalling factors in early embryonic heart development, while Professor Mross and colleagues assess the cancer drug vandetanib on tumor vasculature in colorectal and liver cancer patients, and Professor Ribatti provides an overview on the role of William Harvey in the circulation of blood ❋ Unknown (2009)

The pressure exerted on the vasculature of the foot by the displacement of the cartilages by the distal palmar movement of P2, and the resistance provided by the coronary band and its attachment restrict venous blood flow. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Once taken up, unlike carbs, which are sent directly to the bloodstream, fats go into the lymphatic system, a much smaller and more static transport system than the vasculature. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Flesh-coloured but with delicate traceries of vasculature making them seem alive, the wings flexed as Gina moved, sometimes revealing the inner lips as smaller dorsal wings fluttering against the larger ones. ❋ Unknown (2009)

VeinViewer is a vein-contrast enhancement device that uses an infra-red camera to highlight blood (the underlying vasculature) and projects the image in real time onto the skin. ❋ Unknown (2007)

This rapid exchange of blood under pressure from the ungular cartilage, and coronary vasculature to the proper palmar digital vein would result in a negative pressure in the foot. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Both theories speculate that the digital cushion and the vasculature that accompanies it play a role in energy management, with the digital cushion absorbing the energy. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Hydraulic resistance to flow through the micro vasculature dissipates the high energy. ❋ Unknown (2009)

It is thus hypothesized that foot haemodynamic action accounts for the negative pressure recorded at mid stance, stating that the negative pressure would allow for refilling of the vasculature before next foot fall.1,2 It is further hypothesized that the negative pressure is the result of rapid outward movement of the cartilages of the foot. ❋ Unknown (2009)
