Quantifying the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is crucial for understanding brain waste clearance and nutrient delivery, as well as edema in pathological conditions such as stroke. However, existing in vivo techniques are limited to sparse velocit...

The current study focused on analysing and predicting the effect of physicochemical parameters on the rheological properties of the novel polysaccharide-based bigel. This is the first study to report a bigel fabricated entirely from polysaccharides a...
Cell deformability is a well-established marker of cell states for diagnostic purposes. However, the measurement of a wide range of different deformability levels is still challenging, especially in cancer, where a large heterogeneity of rheological/...
Studying the constitutive relation of soft clays is of critical importance for fundamentally understanding their complex consolidation behavior. This study proposes a fractional differential constitutive model in conjunction with an intelligent displ...
BACKGROUND: Uroflowmetry remains an important tool for the assessment of patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), but accuracy can be limited by within-subject variation of urinary flow rates. Voiding acoustics appear to correlate well with...
Biofluids such as synovial fluid, blood plasma, and saliva contain several proteins which impart non-Newtonian properties to the biofluids. The concentration of such protein macromolecules in biofluids is regarded as an important biomarker for the di...
Several arterial diseases are closely related with mechanical properties of the blood vessel and interactions of flow-vessel dynamics such as mean flow velocity, wall shear stress (WSS) and vascular strain. However, there is an opportunity to improve...

Despite fluorescent cell-labelling being widely employed in biomedical studies, some of its drawbacks are inevitable, with unsuitable fluorescent probes or probes inducing a functional change being the main limitations. Consequently, the demand for a...
Droplet-based microfluidic devices hold immense potential in becoming inexpensive alternatives to existing screening platforms across life science applications, such as enzyme discovery and early cancer detection. However, the lack of a predictive un...
Minimally invasive medical procedures, such as endovascular catheterization, have considerably reduced procedure time and associated complications. However, many regions inside the body, such as in the brain vasculature, still remain inaccessible due...
