Observation of a New Excited Beauty Strange Baryon Decaying to Xi(-)(b)pi(+)pi(-)

Matthias Finger, Konstantin Androsov, Qian Wang, Jan Steggemann, Yiming Li, Varun Sharma, Xin Chen, Arvind Shah, Rakesh Chawla, Marco Pisano

The Xi(-)(b)pi(+)pi(-) invariant mass spectrum is investigated with an event sample of proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016-2018 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb(-1). The gro ...

Experimental Drainage Device to Reduce Lymphoedema in a Rat Model

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Marco Pisano, Melody Swartz, Valentina Triacca

Objective: Despite recent advances in pharmacological research and microsurgery, lymphoedema remains an incurable disease that deeply affects quality of life. There is an urgent need for innovative approaches to restore continuous lymph flow in affected ti ...

Inherent biomechanical traits enable infective filariae to disseminate through collecting lymphatic vessels

Melody Swartz, Marco Pisano, Witold Waldemar Kilarski

Filariases are diseases caused by arthropod-borne filaria nematodes. The related pathologies depend on the location of the infective larvae when their migration, the asymptomatic and least studied phase of the disease, comes to an end. To determine factors ...

Transcellular Pathways in Lymphatic Endothelial Cells Regulate Changes in Solute Transport by Fluid Stress

Melody Swartz, Marco Pisano, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Esra Güç, Valentina Triacca

Rationale: The transport of interstitial fluid and solutes into lymphatic vessels is important for maintaining interstitial homeostasis and delivering antigens and soluble factors to the lymph node for immune surveillance. Transendothelial transport across ...

Medical fluid drainage system

Marco Pisano, Valentina Triacca

A medical fluid drainage system which may be advantageously used to actively absorb excess fluid from an interstitium in a living host and to transport it from an inlet member 1 in a non edematous body part out of an outlet member 4 via pumps (5, 6, 7) bui ...

An in vitro model of the tumor-lymphatic microenvironment with simultaneous transendothelial and luminal flows reveals mechanisms of flow enhanced invasion

Melody Swartz, Marco Pisano, Valentina Triacca

The most common cancers, including breast and skin, disseminate initially through the lymphatic system, yet the mechanisms by which tumor cells home towards, enter and interact with the lymphatic endothelium remain poorly understood. Transmural and luminal ...
