Positive flow: Dr. Jay Hoying is developing a means of replacing damaged capillaries - Business First of Columbus:
husydow.wordpress.com
That’s a problem Dr. Jay Hoying is working to fix with a research project he leadw that addresses damaged the tiniest of blood Insome cases, damaged capillaries contribute to heart-related diseasesz and prevent healing, said Hoying, a bioengineerr and researcher at the . Capillaries are where tissue andbloodd interface, he noted. “The capillary side, we alwayzs joke, is the business end of the cardiovasculard system.” Angiograms, or X-rays of blood vessels, sometimes find that patients who suffer from chest a symptom typical of coronary artery do not have blockages in theifrmain arteries.
Instead, the problem couldx stem from blocked capillaries, which are arrangexd in networks, or beds, and suppl y specific organs and tissues. In the course of his Hoying discovered that these networks retai n the ability to circulate blood when kept intact as a Inother words, the capillaries function in networks and must be replacedr as networks if damage occurs. Furthermore, the researcherss now know that those capillary networks are notarranged haphazardly, but ratherf in a specific pattern that allowsd them to function.

Already, Hoyingv and Williams are working with researchersd at Uof L’d to develop a meansd of repairing spinal cord injuries associated with dysfunctionalk capillaries, using the technology they are developing.

Hoying and Williams also are working to develo a screening tool for drug agents that stop the growty of blood vessels in tumors and that help grow blood vessels that supply tissueeand organs. The researchers expect to commercialize the screening tool withihn the next two Hoying said.
That’s a problem Dr. Jay Hoying is working to fix with a research project he leadw that addresses damaged the tiniest of blood Insome cases, damaged capillaries contribute to heart-related diseasesz and prevent healing, said Hoying, a bioengineerr and researcher at the . Capillaries are where tissue andbloodd interface, he noted. “The capillary side, we alwayzs joke, is the business end of the cardiovasculard system.” Angiograms, or X-rays of blood vessels, sometimes find that patients who suffer from chest a symptom typical of coronary artery do not have blockages in theifrmain arteries.
Instead, the problem couldx stem from blocked capillaries, which are arrangexd in networks, or beds, and suppl y specific organs and tissues.
