Recent experimental work has highlighted a number of complex issues relating to blood flow
dynamics in the normal fetus, where the structure and function of the cardiovascular system …

In this paper we present an electrical analog model for the hepatic arterial buffer response
(HABR), an intrinsic regulation mechanism in the liver whereby the arterial flow counteracts …

Due to the growing shortage of donor livers, more patients are waiting for transplantation.
Living donor liver transplantation may help expanding the donor pool, but is often confronted …

Objective: The hepatic arterial buffer response is a well-known phenomenon in hepatic
circulation, describing the response of hepatic arterial resistance to changes in portal vein …

Double-sided incremental forming (DSIF) is a relatively new dieless forming process which
uses two hemispherical ended tools, one on each side of the sheet, moving along a …

In this paper, we develop a spatio-temporal modeling approach to describe blood and drug
flow, as well as drug uptake and elimination, on an approximation of the liver. Extending on …

Purpose Virtual (in silico) imaging trials (VITs), involving computerized phantoms and
models of the imaging process, provide a modern alternative to clinical imaging trials. VITs …

Currently little is known about the biomechanical environment in decellularized tissue. The
goal of this research is to quantify the mechanical microenvironment in decellularized liver …

HMP's advantages do not merely derive from its mechanical forte in maintaining the
microvasculature patent. It is also a versatile clinical tool with the ability to deliver metabolic …

The intricate (micro) vascular architecture of the liver has not yet been fully unravelled.
Although current models are often idealized simplifications of the complex anatomical …
