A Systems-Based Approach to Examine the Molecular Basis of Interactions between Human Monocytes and Human Micro-Vascular Endothelium
… cells. Interaction with endothelial cells in the micro-vasculature controls access of monocytes to tissues. This interaction is of particular interest in inflammatory diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), in which inflammatory cell infiltration into target tissues causes the majority of the …

Stimulating angiogenesis into biomaterials through the delivery of growth factors
… as ePTFE. Long term patency of small diameter vascular grafts used for infra-inguinal reconstructions, however, is below 50 % 5 years after implantation. Therefore, novel vascular graft concepts and materials are needed. The concept of transmural in vivo endothelialisation of vascular grafts …

Reduction in Delayed Patient Care on the Medical-Surgical unit
… such as neurological, respiratory, cardiovascular, orthopedics, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary diagnoses. The Davies campus differentiates from the three other campuses located in San Francisco because they specialize in stroke-neurological and micro-vascular care. Several gap …

Mathematical modelling of transport across blood vessel walls
… degenerative diseases is filtration across microvessel walls. The role of the microvessel wall is to let oxygen and nutrients contained in the blood stream to reach the interstitium, and ultimately the surrounding cells, while blocking macromolecules. An understanding of these processes is …

Evaluation Of HIF Inhibitors For The Treatment of Ocular Neovascular Diseases
… is the fundamental cause of pathological neovascularization in ocular diseases and cancers. Thus, the inhibitors of the HIF pathway or key regulators such as histone demethylases (KDMs), that amplify HIF signaling, can have profound therapeutic value for these diseases. This dissertation …

Skeleton-based visualization of massive voxel objects with network-like architecture
… 6 applies the method to visualization of bone micro-architecture. Chapter 3 describes a novel geometry generation scheme for representing voxel skeletons, which retracts voxel skeletons to piecewise linear geometry per dual cube. The generated triangle meshes and graphs provide a link to …

Oxygen Deficient Metabolism in Organs: A Link to Combustion Science
… is applied to the biological field of microvascular O2 transport from capillaries to cells immersed in interstitial fluid (IF). The conventional Krogh model represents typical biological models, considering tissue cylinder with uniform oxygen source/sink term (US) (m''', g/s/cm^3) and …
