Abstract

Multiple clinical trials have indicated that cancer, rather than cardiovascular illnesses, was the leading cause of death in follow-up examinations of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) patients that underwent repair surgery. Also, inflammation, having a prominent role in AAA disease, has been proven to play an important role in cancer development. Therefore, a potential link could be made between AAA and cancer. We searched for micro-RNA (miRNA) candidate biomarker(s) in plasma of 15 AAA patients that developed cancer and 15 that did not. Hsa-miR-122-5p was found significantly upregulated in cancer patients compared to non-cancer patients. Further studies need to be done in order to confirm its role on bigger cohorts and to establish it as a possible therapeutic target.

Abstract

The term ‘biomedical engineering’ refers to the application of the principles and problem-solving techniques of engineering to biology and medicine. Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary branch, as many of the problems health professionals are confronted with have traditionally been of interest to engineers because they involve processes that are fundamental to engineering practice. Biomedical engineers employ common engineering methods to comprehend, modify, or control biological systems, and to design and manufacture devices that can assist in the diagnosis and therapy of human diseases. This Special Issue of Fluids aims to be a forum for scientists and engineers from academia and industry to present and discuss recent developments in the field of biomedical engineering. It contains papers that tackle, both numerically (Computational Fluid Dynamics studies) and experimentally, biomedical engineering problems, with a diverse range of studies focusing on the fundamental understanding of fluid flows in biological systems, modelling studies on complex rheological phenomena and molecular dynamics, design and improvement of lab-on-a-chip devices, modelling of processes inside the human body as well as drug delivery applications. Contributions have focused on problems associated with subjects that include hemodynamical flows, arterial wall shear stress, targeted drug delivery, FSI/CFD and Multiphysics simulations, molecular dynamics modelling and physiology-based biokinetic models.

Abstract

Tissue mechanics and tissue engineering are multidisciplinary and interconnected fields that are studied at multiple scales by integrating knowledge in biology, solid mechanics, fluid dynamics, finite element modeling, imaging, electronics, automation, and design. Experimental, computational, and combined approaches are often used to investigate the structure–function relationships in tissues and to understand how their mechanics and biological pathways are altered in injury, disease, or regeneration. The objective of this Special Issue is to present recent methods for the investigation of tissue mechanics and tissue engineering or for combined research between the two fields.
