Atherosclerosis (AS) is the major form of cardiovascular disease and the leading cause of
morbidity and mortality in countries around the world. Atherosclerosis combines the …

The heterogeneity of plaque formation, the vascular remodelling response to plaque
formation, and the consequent phenotype of plaque instability attest to the extraordinarily …

The pulsatile blood flow through human aortic arch and three major branches are
computationally studied to investigate the effect of blood rheology on the hemodynamic …

Disturbed blood flow has been increasingly recognized for its critical role in platelet
aggregation and thrombosis. Microfluidics with hump shaped contractions have been …

Background Local hemodynamics plays an important role in atherogenesis and the
progression of coronary atherosclerosis disease (CAD). The primary biological effect due to …

This paper reports the development of a platform technology for measuring platelet function
and aggregation based on localized strain rate micro-gradients. Recent experimental …

Although blood-contacting medical devices are used widely, blood clot formation
(thrombosis) leads to device failure and potentially catastrophic adverse thrombotic events …

Abstract Background Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is characterized by a
dysfunctional immune response and abnormal blood rheology that contribute to endothelial …

We investigate creeping flow of a viscoelastic fluid through a three dimensional random
porous medium using computational fluid dynamics. The simulations are performed using a …

We present a careful evaluation of non-Newtonian blood rheology effects in arterial flow
simulations. We achieve that by comparing the converged solutions obtained a) from a …
