Oxidative phosphorylation is an important biological process in the body to produce energy, during which oxygen free radicals are generated as byproduct. Excessive oxygen free radicals cause cell death and reduce the rate of tissue regeneration and h...
The effect of concentration, temperature, and the addition of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets on the rheological and dielectric behavior of chitosan (CS) solutions, which influences the formation of the blend materials for various applications includi...
In both biological and engineered systems, functioning at peak power output for prolonged periods of time requires thermoregulation. Here, we report a soft hydrogel-based actuator that can maintain stable body temperatures via autonomic perspiration....
Sea lions swim using primarily their foreflippers, which is uncommon among aquatic mammals. While a significant body of literature exists which investigates the hydrodynamics of body-caudal swimming, relatively little research has looked at sea lion ...
Although three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology is rapidly developing, the design strategies for biocompatible 3D-printable bioinks remain a challenge. In this study, we developed a machine learning-based method to design 3D-printable bioink u...
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...
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...

Understanding the mechanics of blood flow is necessary for developing insights into mechanisms of physiology and vascular diseases in microcirculation. Given the limitations of technologies available for assessing in vivo flow fields, in vitro method...
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...
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...
