The swift deformations of flagella and cilia are crucial for locomotion and fluid transport on
the micron scale. Most hydrodynamic models of flagellar and ciliary flows assume the zero …

Stokes equations are commonly used to model the hydrodynamic flow around cilia on the
micron scale. The validity of the zero Reynolds number approximation is investigated …

The flagella of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii possess fibrous ultrastructures of a nanometer-
scale thickness known as mastigonemes. These structures have been widely hypothesized …

In the study of micro-scale biological flows, velocimetry methods based on passive tracers,
such as micro-PIV and micro-PTV, are well established to characterize steady flows …

In the present work, a technique for local temperature measurement in a microfluidic based
on the use of optical tweezers is developed. The technique consists of measuring the …

In recent years the progress of lab-on-a-chip devices has required the development of
moving-parts free microfluidic systems. Different fluid-pumping mechanisms have been …

Background One of the reported pathways of cancer spread is the transcoelomic pathway,
which is understood as the spread of cancer cells in the abdominal and thoracic cavities …

We propose a new type of microfluidic flow sensor, where the velocity measurements are not
done on the fluid sample itself but on a second, immiscible fluid in contact with the sample …

ABSTRACT A local temperature measurement technique for microfluidic applications based
on the use of optical tweezers is reported. The technique consists of measuring the …

Currently, the process of diagnosis and treatment of a patient with metastatic cancer is highly
inefficient due to the complexity of the disease (metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from …
