(A) Exploded view and combined view of the multilayer microfluidic chip. (B) Detailed dimensional view of culture medium channels and tissue chambers. (C) Multilayer microfluidic chips fabricated by ...

Dilatants are a class of non-Newtonian fluids characterized by their ability to transition from a fluid state to a near-solid state under shear stress due to a high concentration of solid particles ...

How do cells and protein molecules respond to stress as they travel through blood vessels? Could resulting changes to these biological components impact how diseases are spread? Researchers at ...

“Clot-busting” fibrinolytic drugs are administered to patients who have had a heart attack or ischemic stroke. These drugs are delivered systemically or, when possible, locally through a catheter ...

Rheometry is the method used to analyze the rheological behavior of a material; with rheology defined as the study of matter when it flows or is deformed. As a result rheology describes forces and ...

Barth et al. proposed the use of acoustic perturbations to control shear thickening and analyzed how suspension viscosity varies with ultrasound field strength. Their study yielded the first ...
