Over the past decade, since it was first observed in vivo, there has been an explosion in
interest in the thin (∼ 500 nm), gel-like endothelial glycocalyx layer (EGL) that coats the …

▪ Abstract We review major experimental and theoretical studies on microcirculation and
hemorheology, focusing on mechanics of blood flow and the vascular wall. We discuss flow …

Objective Ménière's disease (MD) is a clinical condition defined by spontaneous vertigo
attacks (each lasting 20 minutes to 12 hours) with documented low‐to midfrequency …

This third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport,
and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …

Effective immune responses require the directed migration of leukocytes from the
vasculature to the site of injury or infection. How immune cells “find” their site of …

It has been well established that wall shear stress is an important determinant of endothelial
cell function and gene expression as well as of its structure. There is increasing evidence …

Little is known about the factors that enable the mobilisation of human mesenchymal stem
cells (MSC) from the bone marrow into the blood stream and their recruitment to and …

In arterial blood flow, the wall shear stress expresses the force per unit area exerted by the
wall on the fluid in a direction on the local tangent plane. There is substantial evidence that …

The purpose of this study is mainly directed towards present of viewpoints on critical and
commentary analysis on blood rheology, blood viscosity models, and physiological flow …

The apparent viscosity of blood in glass tubes declines with decreasing diameter
(Fåhraeus-Lindqvist effect) and exhibits a distinctive minimum at 6–7 μm. However, flow …
