Study shows that neurons modulate the growth of blood vessels.

An intricate sensory network intertwined across our bodies, the nervous system requires a specialized network of blood vessels for its development and survival.  However, it is still unclear as to how these nerves attract blood vessels with several animal studies suggesting the formation of blood vessels requires cross-talk between developing tissue and specialized endothelial cells.  Now, a study from researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology … Continue reading Study shows that neurons modulate the growth of blood vessels.
