Systems biology seeks to provide a quantitative framework to understand blood as a reactive biological fluid whose function is dictated by prevailing haemodynamics, vessel wall characteristics, platelet metabolism, numerous coagulation factors in plasma, and small molecules released during thrombosis. The hierarchical nature of thrombosis requires analysis of adhesive bond dynamics of activated...

Adv Physiol Educ 35: 149 –160, 2011; doi:10.1152/advan.00072.2010.—Here, we report on a new tool for teaching cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology that promotes qualitative as well as quantitative thinking about timedependent physiological phenomena. Qu...

Background and Objective: Numerical modeling of biological structures would be very helpful tool to analyze hundreds of human body phenomena and also diseases diagnosis. One physiologic phenomenon is blood circulatory system and heart hemodynamic performance that can be simulated by utilizing lumped method. In this study, we can predict hemodynamic behavior of one artery of circulatory system (...

Postpubertal male common marmosets, Callithrix jacchus, engage in little or no sexual behaviour while living with their natal families. The social mechanisms underlying this phenomenon have not been identified but have been assumed to include reproductive suppression by dominant males and/or avoidance of mating with closely related females. We evaluated these two possible components of male rep...

OBJECTIVE Novel approaches to bridge the gap between clinical studies and experimental basic research of skin physiology are urgently needed. The aim of this study was to develop an effective surrogate model in which ex vivo full-thickness organ culture experiments may be performed. METHODS Human full skin from patients was placed into a stainless steel chamber and cultured at an air-liquid i...
