Computational simulations of the effects of gravity on lymphatic transport

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Huagian Wei et al. from the University have published the research work: Computational simulations of the effects of gravity on lymphatic transport, in the Journal: PNAS Nexus, 2022, Vol. 1, No. 5 of March/11,/2022
  • how: The authors developed a computational model that includes explicit fluid dynam- ics and known mechanobiological mechanisms of lymphatic contractions.
  • future: Investigation is needed to determine the physiological mechanisms by which these external perturbations affect lymph transport. As the direction of flow starts to align with the direction of gravity (i.e. the limb is elevated . . .
