Many different strategies can be found in the literature to model organ physiology, tissue
functionality, and disease in vitro; however, most of these models lack the physiological fluid …

The use of microfluidics to make mechanical property measurements is increasingly
common. Fabrication of microfluidic devices has enabled various types of flow control and …

Mesenchymal stem cells have contributed to the continuous progress of tissue engineering
and regenerative medicine. Adipose‐derived stem cells (ADSC) possess many advantages …

Microphysiological and organ‐on‐chip platforms seek to address critical gaps in human
disease models and drug development that underlie poor rates of clinical success for novel …

The human thymus is the site of T‐cell maturation and induction of central tolerance.
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC)‐derived progenitors are recruited to the thymus from the fetal …

Interstitial fluid uptake and retention by lymphatic vessels (LVs) play a role in maintaining
interstitial fluid homeostasis. While it is well-established that intraluminal lymphatic valves in …

Macrophages play an essential role in the process of recognition and containment of
microbial infections. These immune cells are recruited to infectious sites to reach and …

Blood and lymphatic vessels are regulators of physiological processes, including
oxygenation and fluid transport. Both vessels are ubiquitous throughout the body and are …

The immune system identifies and destroys invading pathogens. However, chronic
inflammation and excessive tissue damage can occur if inflammation is not resolved or if the …

Relative permeability is a key index in resource exploitation, energy development,
environmental monitoring, and other fields. However, the current determination methods of …
