Abstract: The time-dependent transport of labeled vesicles in arterial endothelium has been modeled, taking into account the space-varying electrodynamic and hydrodynamic forces and the steric hindrance of ...

Abstract: In this paper a new theoretical framework is presented for analyzing the filtration and macromolecular convective-diffusive transport processes in the intimal region of an artery wall with widely ...

Abstract: Our concern is the development of techniques for the analysis of wave propagation and general transient response of thin shells to local loading. In general, ray methods are useful for such ...

Abstract: A prototype mathematical model for Brown and Goldstein’s pioneering studies on the LDL receptor mediated pathway for the regulation of the cellular content of cholesterol has been developed in ...

Abstract: A new model is presented for the growth of cellular level macromolecular leakage spots in the arterial intima. The theoretical approach differs from the recent study by Yuan et al. [19] in ...

Abstract: Atherosclerotic lesions tend to localize at curvatures and branches of the arterial system, where the local flow is often disturbed and irregular (e.g., flow separation, recirculation, complex ...

Abstract: The function of the esophagus is to move food by peristaltic motion, which is the result of the interaction of the tissue forces in the esophageal wall and the hydrodynamic forces in the ...
