The cell is certainly one of the most complex and exciting systems in Nature that scientists
are still trying to fully understand. Such a challenge pushes material scientists to seek to …

One characteristic feature of soft matter systems is their strong response to external stimuli.
As a consequence they are comparatively easily driven out of their ground state and out of …

In this review, we describe and analyze a mesoscale simulation method for fluid flow, which
was introduced by Malevanets and Kapral in 1999, and is now called multi-particle collision …

This article reviews the mechanical behavior of a capsule under the influence of viscous
deforming forces due to a flowing fluid. It focuses on artificial capsules and vesicles with an …

A recent study of red blood cells (RBCs) in shear flow [Lanotte et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
USA 113, 13289 (2016) PNASA6 0027-8424 10.1073/pnas. 1608074113] has …

The targeted delivery to specific locations while not causing damage to healthy tissues
efficiently remains a challenge in drug delivery systems. Through addressing this issue …

Cross-streamline noninertial migration of a vesicle in a bounded Poiseuille flow is
investigated experimentally and numerically. The combined effects of the walls and of the …

The rheology of suspensions of soft particles, such as red blood cells, is a long-standing
problem in science and engineering due to the complex interplay between deformable …

The migration of a suspended vesicle in an unbounded Poiseuille flow is investigated
numerically in the low Reynolds number limit. We consider the situation without viscosity …

The number of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) found in blood is known to be a prognostic
marker for recurrence of primary tumors, however, most current methods for isolating CTCs …
