Multiscale Dynamics of Lipid Vesicles in Polymeric Microenvironment [PDF]
Understanding dynamic and complex interaction of biological membranes with extracellular matrices plays a crucial role in controlling a variety of cell behavior and functions, from cell adhesion and growth to signaling and differentiation. Tremendous interest in tissue engineering has made it possible to design polymeric scaffolds mimicking the ...

Extracellular vesicles comprise an as yet inadequately investigated intercellular communication pathway in the field of early osteoarthritis. We hypothesised that the small non-coding RNA expression pattern in synovial fluid and plasma would change ...

Optic Nerve Microcirculation: Fluid Flow and Electrodiffusion [PDF]
Complex fluids flow in complex ways in complex structures. Transport of water and various organic and inorganic molecules in the central nervous system are important in a wide range of biological and medical processes [C. Nicholson, and S. Hrab\v{e}tov\'a, Biophysical Journal, 113(10), 2133(2017)].

Extracellular Fluid Flow Induces Shallow Quiescence Through Physical and Biochemical Cues
The balance between cell quiescence and proliferation is fundamental to tissue physiology and homeostasis. Recent studies have shown that quiescence is not a passive and homogeneous state but actively maintained and heterogeneous.

Interstitial Pressure And Fluid Motion In Tumor Cords
This work illustrates the behavior of the interstitial pressure andof the interstitial fluid motion in tumor cords (cylindrical arrangements oftumor cells growing around blood vessels of the tumor) by means of numericalsimulations on the basis of a ...

Multiphase modeling and qualitative analysis of the growth of tumor cords [PDF]
In this paper a macroscopic model of tumor cord growth is developed, relying on the mathematical theory of deformable porous media. Tumor is modeled as a saturated mixture of proliferating cells, extracellular fluid and extracellular matrix, that occupies a spatial region close to a blood vessel whence cells get the nutrient needed for their vital ...
