The present work aims to investigate whether it is possible to identify and quantify the
contributions of the interstitial fluid and the solid skeleton to the overall time-dependent …

A mathematical model is presented to study the combined viscous electro-osmotic (EO) flow
and heat transfer in a finite length microchannel with peristaltic wavy walls in the presence of …

The mass density of highly hydrated soft tissues is generally assumed to be very close to
that of the water, resulting that the fluid mass fraction (water content) being equal to the fluid …

Measurement of molecular transport through tissues can be performed using gel
electrophoresis techniques but is subject to substantial changes of temperature over the …

Severe back injuries and chronic pain necessitate surgical replacement of damaged
intervertebral disc (IVD) cartilage in advanced disease stages. Bovine IVD tissue has been …

Localized delivery of drugs into an osteoarthritic cartilaginous lesion does not yet exist,
which limits pharmaceutical management of osteoarthritis (OA). High-intensity focused …

Extracellular diffusion is a major molecular transport mechanism in biological systems
critical to the vast majority of physiological processes, such as nutrient supply and waste …
