Tank-treading as a means of propulsion in viscous shear flows
, 2011 The use of tank-treading as a means of propulsion for microswimmers in viscous shear flows is taken into exam. We discuss the possibility that a vesicle be able to control the drift in an external shear flow, by varying locally the bending rigidity of ...

Density Functional Simulation of Spontaneous Formation of Vesicle in Block Copolymer Solutions [PDF]
, 2007 We carry out numerical simulations of vesicle formation based on the density functional theory for block copolymer solutions. It is shown by solving the time evolution equations for concentrations that a polymer vesicle is spontaneously formed from the ...

Cell‐free and extracellular vesicle microRNAs with clinical utility for solid tumors
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Cell‐free microRNAs (cfmiRs) are small‐RNA circulating molecules detectable in almost all body biofluids. Innovative technologies have improved the application of cfmiRs to oncology, with a focus on clinical needs for different solid tumors, but with emphasis on diagnosis, prognosis, cancer recurrence, as well as treatment monitoring.

Quantification of mixing in vesicle suspensions using numerical simulations in two dimensions [PDF]
, 2016 We study mixing in Stokesian vesicle suspensions in two dimensions on a cylindrical Couette apparatus using numerical simulations. The vesicle flow simulation is done using a boundary integral method and the advection-diffusion equation for the mixing of the solute is solved using a pseudo-spectral scheme.

Dynamics of a viscous vesicle in linear flows
, 2006 An analytical theory is developed to describe the dynamics of a closed lipid bilayer membrane (vesicle) freely suspended in a general linear flow. Considering a nearly spherical shape, the solution to the creeping-flow equations is obtained as a regular ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study demonstrates that KRAS and GNAS mutations are more prevalent in patients with resected intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) compared to those under clinical surveillance. GNAS mutations significantly differ between the two patient cohorts, indicating that their absence may serve as a potential biomarker to support conservative ...

Thermodynamic Relaxation Drives Expulsion in Giant Unilamellar Vesicles [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 We investigated the thermodynamic relaxation of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) which contained small vesicles within their interior. Quenching these vesicles from their fluid phase (T>Tm) through the phase transition in the gel state (T

Vesicle dynamics in elongation flow: Wrinkling instability and bud formation
, 2007 We present experimental results on the relaxation dynamics of vesicles subjected to a time-dependent elongation flow. We observed and characterized a new instability, which results in the formation of higher order modes of the vesicle shape (wrinkles ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.We quantified and cultured circulating tumor cells (CTCs) of 62 patients with various cancer types and generated CTC‐derived tumoroid models from two salivary gland cancer patients. Cellular liquid biopsy‐derived information enabled molecular genetic assessment of systemic disease heterogeneity and functional testing for therapy selection in both ...
