Lung metastases are a devastating reality for over half of cancer patients whose tumors spread beyond their initial sites. These secondary lung tumors develop in part because of unique conditions ...

distributed between intracellular fluid (ICF) and extracellular fluid (ECF). ICF accounts for nearly two-thirds of the total body water and is crucial for cellular function, while ECF (including blood ...

Approximately 80% of the brain is composed of water, which circulates among various compartments, including blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and the intracellular and interstitial spaces of brain ...

First, the mathematical equations are presented, including equations governing the interstitial fluid flow, solute transport and cellular ... Treatment efficacy for intracellular drug concentration.

All other interstitial fluids (excepting cerebrospinal fluid and sweat) will be supersaturated as well ... Deconvolution microscopy (Zeiss 510 META, Oberkochen, Germany) was used to verify the ...

Megakaryocytes form a three-dimensional (3D) cage composed of laminin and collagen IV connected to the basement membrane surrounding them. This microarchitecture stabilizes megakaryocytes within their ...

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...

The neuroendocrine system is most active at birth and may play a role in the transition from fetal to postnatal life, in particular in the lungs' transition from fluid secretion to fluid absorption.

Amniotic fluid is the liquid that surrounds and cushions your baby in the womb. It protects your baby and helps in its development. When your "water breaks," amniotic fluid leaks out and signals ...

Cells navigating in complex microenvironments frequently encounter narrow spaces that physically challenge migration.
