Modulation of neutrophil recruitment and function is crucial for targeting inflammatory cells to
sites of infection to combat invading pathogens while, at the same time, limiting host tissue …

Mesoscale simulations of blood flow, where the red blood cells are described as deformable
closed shells with a membrane characterized by bending rigidity and stretching elasticity …

Drug delivery by micro-and nano-carriers enables controlled transport of pharmaceuticals to
targeted sites. Even though carrier fabrication has made much progress recently, the …

Inkjet bioprinting is a new and versatile technology which has found novel applications in
cell biology and associated biomedical research. Cells suspended in a low-viscosity liquid …

Cell membranes are vital to shield a cell's interior from the environment. At the same time
they determine to a large extent the cell's mechanical resistance to external forces. In recent …

Flowing blood displays a phenomenon called margination, in which leukocytes and platelets
are preferentially found near blood vessel walls, while erythrocytes are depleted from these …

Neutrophil recruitment in most tissues is limited to postcapillary venules, where E-and P-
selectins are inducibly expressed by venular endothelial cells. These molecules support …

Blood and many other multicomponent suspensions display a segregation behavior in
which different components of the suspension are differentially distributed in the cross …

Proper functioning of white blood cells is not possible without their ability to adhere to
vascular endothelium, which may occur only if they are close enough to vessel walls. To …

Fluid mechanics is involved in the growth, progression, metastasis, and therapy of cancer.
Blood vessels transport oxygen and nutrients to cancerous tissues, provide a route for …
