We explored the non-thermal effects of radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields and
established a theoretical framework to elucidate their electrophysiological mechanisms. In …

Restrictions to molecular motion by barriers (membranes) are ubiquitous in porous media,
composite materials and biological tissues. A major challenge is to characterize the …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the osmotic and ionic regulation in teleost eggs
and larvae. The teleost egg differs in one major respect from those of the polychaetes …

A detailed introduction to directed transport in Brownian motors occurring in spatially
periodic systems far from equilibrium is presented. We elucidate the prominent physical …

The phenomenon of protein synthesis has been modeled in terms of totally asymmetric
simple exclusion processes (TASEP) since 1968. In this article, we provide a tutorial of the …

A proper supply of nutrients to cells in engineered tissues is paramount for an optimal
development and survival of these tissues. However, especially in tissues with clinically …

Modulating the relative humidity (RH) of the ambient gas phase of a phospholipid/water
sample for modifying the activity of phospholipid-sorbed water [humidity-controlled osmotic …

Abstract Two strains of Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells were grown on a
polycarbonate membrane with 3-µm pores without any extracellular matrix treatment. The …

Starting from the fundamental laws of filtration and transport in biological tissues, we
develop a computational model to capture the interplay between blood perfusion, fluid …

The diffusion equation is the primary tool to study the movement dynamics of a free
Brownian particle, but when spatial heterogeneities in the form of permeable interfaces are …
