Watertable fluctuation-induced variability in the water retention curve: Sand column experiments

The soil water retention curve (WRC), describing the relation between the soil water content and its corresponding capillary pressure, relies not only on whether drying or wetting occurs but also on the pore scale water flow velocity. Here, we investigated ...

Bretherton's buoyant bubble

John Martin Kolinski, Wassim Dhaouadi

When a buoyant bubble is inserted into a closed capillary that is slightly smaller than the capillary length, it appears stuck; exactly why this is so is a puzzle that has remained unanswered over the past 50 years. Recent calculations suggest that the bub ...

The mammalian lymphatic system consists of strategically located lymph nodes (LNs) embedded into a lymphatic vascular network. Mechanisms underlying development of this highly organized system are not fully understood. Using highresolution imaging, we show ...

During carbonation, the microstructure of a cement paste is strongly modified, which induces a dynamic feedback loop impacting the global advancement of the reaction. In this study, we investigate the effect of the microstructure model on simulations of ac ...

PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2018

This thesis presents the synthesis, coating and characterization of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) with properties especially designed for the ultimate simultaneous MRI detection and hyperthermia treatment of lymph node metastases, a combination called t ...

Local induction of lymphangiogenesis with engineered fibrin-binding VEGF-C promotes wound healing by increasing immune cell trafficking and matrix remodeling

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez, Esra Güç, Manuel Andreas Fankhauser

Lymphangiogenesis occurs in inflammation and wound healing, yet its functional roles in these processes are not fully understood. Consequently, clinically relevant strategies for therapeutic lymphangiogenesis remain underdeveloped, particularly using growt ...

Interstitial fluid pressure: A novel biomarker to monitor photo-induced drug uptake in tumor and normal tissues.

Georges Wagnières, Michaël Bensimon, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Xi Wang, Jean Yannis Perentes

Low-dose photodynamic therapy PDT (photoinduction) can modulate tumor vessels and enhance the uptake of liposomal cisplatin (Lipoplatin®) in pleural malignancies. However, the photo-induction conditions must be tightly controlled as overtreatment shuts dow ...

Two-phase displacements in microchannels of triangular cross-section

Erica Kathleen Block

Varying microfluidic channel cross-sectional geometry can dramatically alter fluid flow behavior, particularly for capillary-driven flow. Most fabrication techniques, however, are planar and therefore incapable of providing depth-dependent variations in wi ...

Exploiting lymphatic vessels for immunomodulation: Rationale, opportunities, and challenges

Melody Swartz, Lambert Charles François Potin

Lymphatic vessels are the primary route of communication from peripheral tissues to the immune system; as such, they represent an important component of local immunity. In addition to their transport functions, new immunomodulatory roles for lymphatic vess ...

Protein Corona: Impact of Lymph Versus Blood in a Complex In Vitro Environment

Heinrich Hofmann, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Diego Chiappe, Marc Moniatte, Ulrich Aschauer, Marijana Mionic Ebersold, Débora Bonvin

In biological environments, the surface of nanoparticles (NPs) are modified by protein corona (PC) that determines their biological behavior. Unfortunately, in vitro tests still give different PC than in vivo tests causing in vitro-in vivo discrepancy; hen ...
