Lab-grown blood vessels reveal roles of different cells in rapid-aging disease
Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a three-layer model of human blood vessels that enables researchers to better understand how Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), a rare genetic disorder that causes accelerated aging, affects the vascular system.
