When combined with patient information provided by advanced imaging techniques,
computational biomechanics can provide detailed patient-specific information about …

Understanding the dynamics of circulating tumor cell (CTC) behavior within the vasculature
has remained an elusive goal in cancer biology. To elucidate the contribution of …

The growth of cerebral aneurysms is linked to local hemodynamic conditions, but the driving
mechanisms of the growth are poorly understood. The goal of this study was to examine the …

The potential impact of blood flow simulations on the diagnosis and treatment of patients
suffering from vascular disease is tremendous. Empowering models of the full arterial tree …

Endothelial surface layer (glycocalyx) is the major physiological regulator of tumor cell
adhesion to endothelium. Cancer cells express vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) …

Background Computational fluid dynamics can compute fractional flow reserve (FFR)
accurately. However, existing models are limited by either the intravascular hemodynamic …

GPU performance of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) depends heavily on memory
access patterns. When LBM is advanced with GPUs on complex computational domains …

Introduction The adhesion of tumor cells to vessel wall is a critical stage in cancer
metastasis. Firm adhesion of cancer cells is usually followed by their extravasation through …

Simulations of the passage of eukaryotic cells through a constricted channel aid in studying
the properties of cancer cells and their transport in the bloodstream. Compound capsules …

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) often coexist and
pose significant risks of mortality, yet their mutual interactions remain largely unexplored …
