Turbulent finite element model applied for blood flow calculation in arterial bifurcation

Vascular bifurcation influences the protein corona composition on nanoparticles and impacts their cellular uptake

“…Turbulence is a crucial feature observed in plasma flow that arises due to changes in vessel physiology. 24 Such changes in plasma flow caused by vascular dynamics could potentially affect the distribution of proteins in the blood and their interactions with NPs. 25 A classic example of how vessel structure affects the flow and its implications is the increased probability of plaque depositions and leukocyte adhesion at vessel bifurcations.…”
