Due to the potential impact on the diagnosis and treatment of various cardiovascular
diseases, work on the rheology of blood has significantly expanded in the last decade, both …

Mesoscale simulations of blood flow, where the red blood cells are described as deformable
closed shells with a membrane characterized by bending rigidity and stretching elasticity …

Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) belongs to a class of models and computational
algorithms developed to address mesoscale problems in complex fluids and soft matter in …

Understanding and controlling the interaction of graphene-based materials with cell
membranes is key to the development of graphene-enabled biomedical technologies and to …

Blood viscosity decreases with shear stress, a property essential for an efficient perfusion of
the vascular tree. Shear thinning is intimately related to the dynamics and mutual …

Drug delivery by micro-and nano-carriers enables controlled transport of pharmaceuticals to
targeted sites. Even though carrier fabrication has made much progress recently, the …

At the cellular scale, blood fluidity and mass transport depend on the dynamics of red blood
cells in blood flow, specifically on their deformation and orientation. These dynamics are …

Capillary blood vessels, the smallest vessels in the body, form an intricate network with
constantly bifurcating, merging and winding vessels. Red blood cells (RBCs) must navigate …

For the simulations of polymeric systems, coarse‐grained (CG) molecular dynamics
simulations are computationally demanding not only because of their high computational …

Normal haemostasis is an important physiological mechanism that prevents excessive
bleeding during trauma, whereas the pathological thrombosis especially in diabetics leads …
