Green light helps thicken artificial blood vessels

According to Japanese scientists, when creating artificial blood vessels in animals and shining blue light, this artificial blood vessel will thicken.

The report of the Japan National Center for Disease Research Centers said scientists at the agency have discovered, when creating artificial blood vessels in the animal's body, if it is conducted at the same time. Green light, this artificial blood vessel will be easily thickened.

Scientists have taken advantage of this method to successfully create blood vessels and artificial valves in dogs. This technology can be used in the treatment of people with severe heart disease and weak blood vessels.

According to Yasuhide Nakayama, scientist of the Department of Medical Research Materials Research at the Japan National Center for Disease Research, implanted a special cylinder with a diameter of 16mm made from propylene under the dog's back skin.

After a month around the syringe has been covered with protein and gradually formed blood vessels and valves. After taking out the syringe, blood vessels and valves, scientists continued to implant blood vessels and valves back into the dog's body, resulting in blood vessels and valves that could function normally.

This method can create thicker blood vessels while scientists could only create blood vessels of 0.1mm thickness before.

Scientists continue to try to put a light emitting diode into the cylinder, then take measures to light emitting diodes in the green light during the first three days. The results showed that after a month of blood vessels were increased to one mm thick.

Scientists have confirmed that blue-lighted blood vessels contain a lot of elastin. This shows that in the animal body, after a green light, a mechanism of elastin production exists.
