A study of rolling adhesion in braking
… velocity, and dwell time on the coefficient of adhesion at slip in braking was investigated. A test rig that simulated locomotive wheel/rail interactions was used for the experimentation. The results indicated a drop in the coefficient of adhesion with increasing speed. However, normal load, …

On the role of mast cells in chemokine-induced leukocyte recruitment
… Jeukocytes is a multi-steps process comprising rolling, adhesion and transmigration. This process depends on the function of several different cells, including leukocytes, endothelial cells, mast cells and macrophages as well as a wide spectrum of inflammatory mediators, such as TNF-alpha and …

Stochastic dynamics of cell adhesion in hydrodynamic flow
… between hydrodynamic transport and specific adhesion is theoretically investigated. An important biological motivation for this work is the rolling adhesion of white blood cells experimentally investigated in flow chambers. There, specific adhesion is mediated by weak bonds between …

Selective Isolation of Circulating Tumor Cells in Antibody-Functionalized Microsystems
… of cell motion have been observed: free motion, rolling adhesion, and firm adhesion. The fraction of cells captured due to firm adhesion, defined as attachment ratio, depends on the applied flow rate with a characteristic value that increases with either cellreceptor or surface-ligand density. …
