Due to the potential impact on the diagnosis and treatment of various cardiovascular
diseases, work on the rheology of blood has significantly expanded in the last decade, both …

The microcirculation is an extensive network of microvessels that distributes blood flow
throughout living tissues. Reynolds numbers are much less than 1, and the equations of …

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 …

Characterizing blood flow dynamics in vivo is critical to understanding the function of the
vascular network under physiological and pathological conditions. Existing methods for …

A review is presented of the physical principles governing the distribution of blood flow and
blood pressure in the vascular system. The main factors involved are the pulsatile driving …

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 …

We simulate the cross-flow migration of rigid particles such as platelets in a red blood cell
(RBC) suspension using the Stokes flow boundary integral equation method. Two types of …

Normal haemostasis is an important physiological mechanism that prevents excessive
bleeding during trauma, whereas the pathological thrombosis especially in diabetics leads …

Although most nanofabrication techniques can control nano/micro particle (NMP) size over a
wide range, the majority of NMPs for biomedical applications exhibits a diameter of~ 100 …

Blood plasma separation is vital in the field of diagnostics and health care. Due to the
inherent advantages obtained in the transition to microscale, the recent trend in these fields …
