When blood returns to the heart, it follows a complicated pathway. If you were in the bloodstream, you would follow the steps below one by one. Oxygen-poor blood (shown in blue) flows from the ...

Until recently, researchers believed that platelet spreading and clot contraction were controlled by the same pathway. However a recent study from Thomas Jefferson University researchers challenges ...

The nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway is emerging as an important mediator of blood flow regulation, cell signaling, energetics and tissue responses to hypoxia. The latest advances in our understanding ...
