We hypothesize that preconditioning seeded endothelium under physiological flow will enhance their retention and function.
Elastic ducts with time-varying geometry are a recurrent issue in many engineering and physiological flow or sound production problems.
Simulation of physiological flow in a phantom with tissue equivalence of soft tissue, vessel wall and blood is now achievable.
Rat aortic smooth muscle cells were placed in a flow chamber designed to simulate physiological flow conditions.
For the toxicological test of NPs, the shear stress during physiological flow is also an important factor in terms of toxicity evaluation towards human cells.
The encapsulated islets could be exposed to physiological flow conditions as a pretreatment process in order to stabilize the islets properly before transplant.
Vascular access methods, performed by the insertion of cannulae into vessels, may disturb the physiological flow of blood, giving rise to non-physiological pressure variations and shear stresses.
The USPIO-labeled scaffold materials were molded with a mixture of fibrin, fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells, and then endothelialized in a bioreactor under physiological flow conditions.
It is crucial that these grafts possess mechanical properties that allow them to withstand physiological flow and pressure without being damaged.
However, bioadhesion of targeted microbubbles under physiological flow conditions is still difficult to achieve, the main challenge being connected to the poor stability of lipid microbubbles in the body's circulation system.
An Immersed Boundary (IB) model is employed to investigate the dynamic behaviour of a novel chorded mitral prosthesis, which is in the early stages of its development, under physiological flow conditions.
