The brain lacks a traditional lymphatic system for metabolite clearance. The existence of a
“glymphatic system” where metabolites are removed from the brain's extracellular space by …

The movement of fluid into, through, and out of the brain plays an important role in clearing
metabolic waste. However, there is controversy regarding the mechanisms driving fluid …

The brain lacks a conventional lymphatic system to remove metabolic waste. It has been
proposed that directional fluid movement through the arteriolar paravascular space (PVS) …

We present a new stress/total-pressure formulation for poroelasticity that incorporates the
coupling with steady nonlinear diffusion modified by stress. This nonlinear problem is written …

In this paper we propose a new mathematical model for describing the complex interplay
between skin cell populations with fibroblast growth factor and bone morphogenetic protein …

We consider a previously proposed general nonlinear poromechanical formulation, and we
derive a linearized version of this model. For this linearized model, we obtain an existence …

Surgical implants, known as Tissue Engineered Nerve Guides (TENGs) are often inserted to
provide alignment and mechanical support to broken or damaged nerves. These implants …

For the polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bit, the first step of rock breaking is to press
the bit into the rock. However, it is very difficult to theorize the pressing process, due to the …

The brain is one of the most metabolically active organs in the mammalian body. For proper
brain function, the metabolic waste has to be removed continuously. Accumulation of …

Nerve injuries or breakage caused by bullet wounds or accidents often lead to loss of
sensitivity, or motion, or both, in the injured organ. The human body has inherent …
