Our most recent work is out on OCT flowmetry in organ-on-chip (OoC) devices, see rdcu.be/eytR3. In this work we took on the challenge of measuring very small flow speeds in a OoC device using particle-image velocimetry and number-fluctuation OCT.

How do hydraulic forces impact critical processes such as tissue integrity, cell fate decisions, and embryo development?

Hydraulics studies how fluids move and exert forces.

Join me in exploring few articles on hydraulics in #EpithelialMechanics
