Testing Foundations of Biological Scaling Theory Using Automated Measurements of Vascular Networks

Scientists have long sought to understand how vascular networks supply blood and oxygen to cells throughout the body. Recent work focuses on principles that constrain how vessel size changes through branching generations from the aorta to capillaries and uses scaling exponents to quantify these chan...
