CFD Numerical Simulation of the Complex Turbulent Flow Field in an Axial-Flow Water Pump
Further optimal design of an axial-flow water pump calls for a thorough recognition of the characteristics of the complex turbulent flow field in the pump, which is however extremely difficult to be measured using the up-to-date experimental techniques ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Influence of Balance Hole Diameter on Leakage Flow of the Balance Chamber in a Centrifugal Pump
The balancing holes in centrifugal pumps with seals mounted in both suction and discharge sides are one of the approaches used by pump manufacturers to reduce the axial thrust. The balance hole diameter directly affects the axial force of the centrifugal

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses
