Intact, coordinated, and precisely regulated cerebrovascular responses are required for the
maintenance of cerebral metabolic homeostasis, adequate perfusion, oxygen delivery, and …

Packaging of drug molecules within microparticles and nanoparticles has become an
important strategy in intravascular drug delivery, where the particles are designed to protect …

Most non-communicable diseases involve inflammatory changes in one or more vascular
systems, and there is considerable evidence that unliganded iron plays major roles in this …

To model the Fåhræus–Lindqvist effect, Haynes' marginal zone theory is used, following
previous works, ie, a core layer of uniform red blood cells (RBCs) is assumed to be …

The interest in the development of blood analogues has been increasing recently as a
consequence of the increment in the number of experimental hemodynamic studies and the …

The vasculature plays a central role as the highway of the body, through which nutrients and
oxygen as well as biochemical factors and signals are distributed by blood flow. Therefore …

Fibre optic sensors are well suited to measuring fluid flow in many contexts, and recently
there has been burgeoning interest in their application to direct, invasive measurement of …

The role of erythrocytes in platelet adhesion to von Willebrand factor (VWF) on the vessel
wall through their membrane glycoprotein (GP) Ibα under blood flow conditions has not yet …

Experimental studies over many years have shown that blood flow exhibits non-Newtonian
characteristics such as shear-thinning, viscoelasticity, yield stress and thixotropy. The …

Blood flow in micro capillaries of diameter approximately 15–500 μm is accompanied with a
lower tube hematocrit level and lower apparent viscosity as the diameter decreases. These …
