Multiciliated cells are epithelial cells that are in contact with bodily fluids and are required for
the proper function of major organs including the brain, the respiratory system and the …

Historically, the direct release of pineal melatonin into the capillary bed within the gland has
been accepted as the primary route of secretion. Herein, we propose that the major route of …

Observations of fast transport of fluorescent tracers in mouse brains have led to the
hypothesis of bulk water flow directed from arterial to venous paravascular spaces (PVS) …

Aim To study using computer simulation the effect of irrigant flow rate on the flow pattern
within a prepared root canal, during final irrigation with a syringe and needle. Methodology …

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is not stagnant but displays fascinating oscillatory flow patterns
inside the ventricular system and reversing fluid exchange between the cranial vault and …

Three-D head geometrical models of eight healthy subjects and 11 hydrocephalus patients
were built using their CINE phase-contrast MRI data and used for computer simulations …

Blast-induced traumatic brain injury (TBI) has become a signature wound of recent military
activities and is the leading cause of death and long-term disability among US soldiers. The …

Background As an alternative to advection, solute transport by shear-augmented dispersion
within oscillatory cerebrospinal fluid flow was investigated in small channels representing …

Spinal microstructures are known to substantially affect cerebrospinal fluid patterns, yet their
actual impact on flow resistance has not been quantified. Because the length scale of …

Tanycytes are located at the base of the brain and retain characteristics from their
developmental origins, such as radial glial cells, throughout their life span. With transport …
