RISConfocal Image Based Computational Modeling of Nitric Oxide Transport in a Rat Mesenteric Lymphatic Vessel
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The lymphatic system plays important roles in protein and solute transport as well as in the immune system. Its functionality is vital to proper homeostasis and fluid balance. Lymph may be propelled by intrinsic (active) ...
The Effect of Static and Dynamic Loading on Degradation of PLLA Stent Fibers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Understanding how polymers such as PLLA degrade in vivo will enhance biodegradable stent design. This study examined the effect of static and dynamic loads on PLLA stent fibers in vitro. The stent fibers (generously provided ...
Excessive Shear Rate, Not Shear Stress, Influences Cell Mechanical Damage in Small-Bore Needle Injections
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. Cell therapies and 3D bioprinting often require suspended cells to be delivered through needles of 20-gauge and smaller. This often damages cells, affecting their short and long-term viability. Most researchers ...
