Microfluidic Platforms for Studies of Angiogenesis, Cell Migration, and Cell–Cell Interactions [PDF]
Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2010 Recent advances in microfluidic technologies have opened the door for creating more realistic in vitro cell culture methods that replicate many aspects of the true in vivo microenvironment. These new designs (i) provide enormous flexibility in controlling the critical biochemical and biomechanical factors that influence cell behavior, (ii) allow for ...

Flow Interactions with Cells and Tissues: Cardiovascular Flows and Fluid–Structure Interactions [PDF]
Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2010 Interactions between flow and biological cells and tissues are intrinsic to the circulatory, respiratory, digestive and genitourinary systems. In the circulatory system, an understanding of the complex interaction between the arterial wall (a living multi-component organ with anisotropic, nonlinear material properties) and blood (a shear-thinning fluid

Mechanical Study of Standard Six Beat Front Crawl Swimming by Using Swimming Human Simulation Model
Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2007 There are many dynamical problems in front crawl swimming which have not been fully investigated by analytical approaches. Therefore, in this paper, standard six beat front crawl swimming is analyzed by the swimming human simulation model SWUM, which has
