At the level of the capillaries, the systemic circulation loses 2 to 4 L fluid and 100 g protein into the interstitium daily. This ultrafiltrate of the systemic capillaries is returned to the circulatory system by the lymphatics. The lymphatic vasculature is highly specialized to perform this service, beginning with the blind-ended lymphatic capillaries. These vessels are highly permeable to pr...

This work presents a methodology for determining the interface between wetting and nonwetting phases inside a three-dimensional porous space, at a given equilibrium state. The work is limited to the study of mechanical equilibrium. The method is based on a three dimensional extension of the opening method from image analysis presented in [1] and applied on threedimensional stochastically recons...

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) and preeclampsia are the major causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality, which affect up to 8% of all pregnancies. The pathogenesis in FGR is an abnormal trophoblastic invasion leading to compromised uteroplacental circulation. However, in spite of this understanding and identification of high-risk patients, the management options are limited. There are some new...

With the increase of shale gas resource exploitation in our country during recent decades, situations low production, fast production decline rate, and flowback rate have been appearing field production. It is an urgent problem to be solved it therefore necessary study interaction reservoir detained fracturing fluid. In this paper, Longmaxi Formation samples Sichuan Basin were selected for a wa...

Glutamate and its receptor N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) have been associated with cancer, although their functions are not fully understood. Herein, we implicate glutamate-driven NMDAR signaling in a mouse model of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumorigenesis (PNET) and in selected human cancers. NMDAR was upregulated at the periphery of PNET tumors, particularly invasive fronts. Moreover, ...

We propose a description for transient penetration simulations of miscible and immiscible fluid mixtures into anisotropic porous media, using the lattice Boltzmann (LB) method. Our model incorporates hydrodynamic flow, advection-diffusion, surface tension, and the possibility for global and local viscosity variations to consider various types of hardening fluids. The miscible mixture consists o...

Mechanical stress is pervasive in egress routes of malignancy, yet the intrinsic effects of force on tumour cells remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that frictional force characteristic of flow in the lymphatics stimulates YAP1 to drive cancer cell migration; whereas intensities of fluid wall shear stress (WSS) typical of venous or arterial flow inhibit taxis. YAP1, but not TAZ, is ...
