Technological advances in imaging techniques and biometric data acquisition have enabled
us to apply methods of network science to study the morphology and structural design of …

Transport of intracellular components relies on a variety of active and passive mechanisms,
ranging from the diffusive spreading of small molecules over short distances to motor-driven …

Blood microcirculation supplies neurons with oxygen and nutrients, and contributes to
clearing their neurotoxic waste, through a dense capillary network connected to larger tree …

Channels are fundamental building blocks from biophysics to soft robotics, often used to
transport or separate solutes. As solute particles inevitably transverse between streamlines …

Transport of deformable particles in a honeycomb network is studied numerically. It is shown
that the particle deformability has a strong impact on their distribution in the network. For …

The energy demands of neurons are met by a constant supply of glucose and oxygen via the
cerebral vasculature. The cerebral cortex is perfused by dense, parallel arterioles and …

A dynamic self-organized morphology is the hallmark of network-shaped organisms like
slime moulds and fungi. Organisms continuously reorganize their flexible, undifferentiated …

Neuronal activity induces changes in blood flow by locally dilating vessels in the brain
microvasculature. How can the local dilation of a single vessel increase flow-based …

The structure of flow networks determines their function under normal conditions as well as
their response to perturbative damage. Brain vasculature often experiences transient or …

This paper introduces a linear operator for the purposes of quantifying the spectral
properties of transport within resistive trees, such as airflow in lung airway networks. The …
