The effect of magnetic field (MF) exposure on microcirculation and microvasculature is not
clear or widely explored. In the limited body of data that exists, there are contradictions as to …

In this article a number of whole-field blood velocity measurement techniques are concisely
reviewed. We primarily focus on optical measurement techniques for in vivo applications …

Computational modeling of blood flow in microvessels with internal diameter 20–500μm is a
major challenge. It is because blood in such vessels behaves as a multiphase suspension of …

In this paper, we develop an immersed boundary lattice Boltzmann approach to simulate
deformable capsules in flows. The lattice Boltzmann method is utilized to solve the …

Polymeric nanoparticles have long been sought after as carriers for systemic and targeted
drug delivery. However, applications of nanoparticles are limited by their short in vivo …

Separation of red blood cells and plasma in microcirculatory vessels produces a cell-free
layer at the wall. This layer may be an important determinant of blood viscosity and wall …

The physiological inflammation response depends upon the multibody interactions of blood
cells in the microcirculation that bring leukocytes (white blood cells) to the vessel walls. We …

An analytical theory is developed to describe the dynamics of a closed lipid bilayer
membrane (vesicle) freely suspended in a general linear flow. Considering a nearly …

Traditionally, applications of biomechanics will model system-level aspects of the human
body. As a result, the majority of technological progress to date appears in system-level …

The influence of red blood cell (RBC) aggregation on blood flow in vivo has been under
debate since early 1900's, yet a full understanding has still has not been reached. Enhanced …
