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

Comparison of Subgrid-scale Viscosity Models and Selective Filtering Strategy for Large-eddy Simulations [PDF]
Explicitly filtered large-eddy simulations (LES), combining high-accuracy schemes with the use of a selective filtering without adding an explicit subgrid-scales (SGS) model, are carried out for the Taylor-Green-vortex and the supersonic-boundary-layer ...

Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions
Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...

How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Laminar–Turbulent Intermittency in Annular Couette–Poiseuille Flow: Whether a Puff Splits or Not
Direct numerical simulations were carried out with an emphasis on the intermittency and localized turbulence structure occurring within the subcritical transitional regime of a concentric annular Couette–Poiseuille flow.

Numerical simulation of direct shear test of sand considering rotational impedance
A series of sand direct shear numerical simulation tests were performed using the discrete element method, so as to investigate the inherent relation of meso-mechanics between the particle’s rotation-resistant capacity and the interaction of sands and ...

Direct numerical simulation of noninvasive channel healing in electrical field
Noninvasive channel healing is a new idea to repair the broken pipe wall, using external electric fields to drive iron particles to the destination. The repair can be done in the normal operation of the pipe flow without any shutdown of the pipeline so ...

A primer on direct numerical simulation of turbulence - methods, procedures and guidelines
Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) is the branch of CFD devoted to high-fidelity solution ofturbulent flows. DNS differs from conventional CFD in that the turbulence is explicitly resolved,rather than modelled by a Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS ...
