Capillary imbibition of confined monodisperse emulsions in microfluidic channels.

We study imbibition of a monodisperse emulsion into high-aspect ratio microfluidic channels with the height comparable to the droplet diameter . Two distinct regimes are identified in the imbibition dynamics. In a strongly confined system (the confinement ratio / = 1.

Outer Retinal Corrugations in Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment: The Retinal Pigment Epithelium-Photoreceptor Dysregulation Theory.

Purpose: Outer retinal folds occur when outer retinal corrugations (ORCs) persist after retinal reattachment with worse functional outcomes. We investigate the pathophysiology of ORCs in vivo.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Investigating the correlation of muscle function tests and sarcomere organization in C. elegans.

Background: Caenorhabditis elegans has been widely used as a model to study muscle structure and function. Its body wall muscle is functionally and structurally similar to vertebrate skeletal muscle with conserved molecular pathways contributing to sarcomere structure, and muscle function. However, a systematic investigation of the relationship between muscle force and sarcomere organization is lacking.
