Switching from static assays to a shear flow system can uncover critical biological insights in hematology, immunology and microbiology. Shear flow systems can reveal in vivo -like changes in cell ...

A major contributor to shear stress is the type of pump used for transferring fluids such as media, nutrients or cell suspensions. In this context, peristaltic pumps have emerged as the preferred ...

Organic phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy storage can be emulsified in water in the presence of surfactants to enable their use as pumpable heat transfer fluids. However, PCM ...

Water flow plays a surprising role in the formation of new blood vessels as zebrafish develop, RIKEN researchers have discovered. This finding advances our understanding of how blood vessels ...

Illumina has begun shipping a single-flow cell system for its NovaSeq X series, to offer a more accessible price point for smaller labs.

Encoding human experience: Study reveals how brain cells compute the flow of time Researchers say findings could have implications for improving memory, cognitive functions and artificial ...

A Couette cell flow device was designed, and an experimental procedure was developed to enable a quantitative study of the effects of fluid shear on secondary nucleation using a fixed seed crystal ...

Treatments that rely on genome editing are poised to be at the forefront of the therapeutic landscape.

Many medical devices for treating heart failure generate nonphysiological shear flow. This can trigger the destruction of red blood cells after implantation of ventricular assist devices (VADs ...

Under fluid shear, living cells deform elliptically, align in flow direction, and rotate, from which their frequency-dependent viscoelastic properties can be inferred.
