The development of blood-compatible materials represents a grand challenge in
biomaterials science. Blood is a complex fluid containing many types of living cells …

Throughout history, capillary systems have aided the establishment of the fundamental laws
of blood flow and its non-Newtonian properties. The advent of microfluidics technology in the …

Autologous implantable scaffolds that induce vasculogenesis have shown great potential in
tissue regeneration; however, previous attempts mainly relied on cell‐laden hydrogel …

The vasculature is a dynamic environment in which blood platelets constantly survey the
endothelium for sites of vessel damage. The formation of a mechanically coherent …

Platelet adhesion and activation are essential initial processes of arterial and microvascular
hemostasis, where high hydrodynamic forces from the bloodflow impede coagulation. The …

The spontaneous lysis of a coronary thrombus is a natural protective mechanism against
lasting occlusion and downstream infarction. Thrombus stability is thus a direct determinant …

Given the extensive and routine use of cardiovascular devices, a major limiting factor to their
success is the thrombotic rate that occurs. This poses direct risk to the patient and requires …

In this study, we present a method to quantitatively analyze the thrombus formation process
through image analysis in an in vitro thrombus model with a circular cross section. The …

Mechanotransduction is the ability of cells to “feel” or sense their mechanical
microenvironment and integrate and convert these physical stimuli into adaptive …

Thrombosis and thromboembolism are deadly risk factors in blood‐contacting biomedical
devices, and in‐silico models of thrombosis are attractive tools to understand the mechanics …
