Abstract: We discuss bioinspired pumping mechanism in a microfluidic configuration, consistent with the newly formulated propagative rhythmic contraction–expansion of a membrane attached to the channel wall. We aptly demonstrate the kinematics of the proposed membrane function… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ndt/gfaf116.1576
Abstract: Elevated uric acid (UA), a byproduct of purine metabolism, is known to contribute to oxidative stress and inflammation. In patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD), efficient clearance of UA is crucial for regulating systemic UA levels.… read more here.
