On reduced-order modeling of drug dispersion in the spinal canal [PDF]
Fluids and Barriers of the CNSThe optimization of intrathecal drug delivery procedures requires a deeper understanding of flow and transport in the spinal canal. Numerical modeling of drug dispersion is challenging due to the disparity in time scales: dispersion occurs over 1 hour ...

Superstability of micrometre jets surrounded by a polymeric shell. [PDF]
J Appl CrystallogrSuperstable micrometre compound jets have been produced for serial femtosecond X‐ray crystallography.We have produced superstable compound liquid microjets with a 3D‐printed coaxial flow‐focusing injector. The aqueous jet core is surrounded by a shell, a few hundred nanometres in thickness, of a low‐concentration aqueous solution of a low‐molecular ...

Patient-specific CFD modeling of CSF flow in Chiari I malformation: denticulate-ligament-induced compartmentalization explains flow patterns [PDF]
Fluids and Barriers of the CNSComputational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been widely used to study cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow in Chiari Malformation Type I (CM-I). However, most approaches rely on limited patient-specific detail, and it remains unclear whether such minimal input is ...

Differential xylem phytohormone export from dry and wet roots during partial rootzone drying is independent of shoot-to-root transport in soybean. [PDF]
Physiol PlantAbstract Different phytohormones can act as root‐to‐shoot signalling molecules in response to soil drying. Recent findings suggest that root ABA levels are predominantly leaf‐sourced and not locally synthesized, thus, ABA exported from the roots in the xylem is mostly recycled from the shoot.
