... CPAs usually have disadvantages of operation complexity, time consumption, and ease of contamination, especially for the applications involving large volumes of cell suspensions. A dilution-filtration system, which involves pure ultrafiltration for separation, was developed for continuous, automatic...

... by running a simulation with no thrombus. Note that the values used for normalization do not impact the optimization procedure. Based on the design optimization criteria described above, it is reasonable to question the clinical value of dual filtration IVC filters that trap thrombi along the cava...

... permeability, we extended the electrodiffusion model developed by Fu et al. [Am. J. Physiol. 284 , H1240–1250 (2003)], which is for the interendothelial cleft with a negatively charged surface glycocalyx layer, to include the filtration due to hydrostatic and oncotic pressures across the microvessel wall...

..., this leads to an increased transendothelial LDL flux downstream of the stenosis. Increased transmural filtration in such regions, when coupled with a concentration-dependent endothelial permeability to LDL, could be an important contributor to LDL infiltration into the arterial wall. Experimental work...
