background: the interaction between the blood and the vessel wall is of great clinical interest in studying cardiovascular diseases, the major causes of death in developed countries. objective: to understand the effects of incorporating fluid-structure interaction into the simulation of blood flow through an anatomically realistic model of abdominal aorta and renal arteries reconstructed from c...

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) were originally identified as the active components in bone extracts that can induce ectopic formation. In recent decades, their key role has broadly expanded beyond physiology and pathology. Nowadays, BMP pathway is considered an important player vascular signaling. Indeed, mutations genes encoding different of cause various severe diseases. Their signaling c...

background and objective: cerebral arteriovenous malformation (cavm) hemodynamic is disease condition, results changes in the flow and pressure level in cerebral blood vessels. measuring flow and pressure without catheter intervention along the vessel is big challenge due to vessel bifurcations/complex bifurcations in arteriovenous malformation patients. the vessel geometry in cavm patients are...
