The purpose is to use laws of physics to elucidate the mechanisms behind capillary non-perfusion in diabetic retinopathy. In diabetic retinopathy, loss of pericytes weakens capillary walls and the ...

No-slip boundary condition is one of the common assumptions in rheological analysis, especially for polymer melt flow in capillary rheometers. In fluid dynamics, this assumption means that at the wall ...

Researchers at China's Northeast Petroleum University adapted the traditional Lucas-Washburn model to better calculate the expected level of capillary rise in nano-channels WASHINGTON, D.C., March 21, ...

Engineered human capillaries are providing an astounding view of how red blood cells transit ultra-small blood vessels. This new platform was used in a recent study to learn how severe malaria ...
