Ok that's interesting! These are tiny blood vessels like in wound healing, I don't know if it could work to build larger ones? Or if enough small vessels could do the work of a larger vessel? There was a six-fold increase in blood vessels, that seems very high. Oh!! It talks about it being applied internally to support transplanted organs -- this was one of the problems with transplanted jugulars -- they didn't have the network of blood vessels to support them so if it clogged at the top, the whole jugular died -- I wish this was human research and not mouse research at this point.
