We present local direct imaging of the progressive adsorption of colloidal particles inside a 3D model porous medium. By varying the interparticle electrostatic interactions, we observe a large range of particle deposition regimes, from a single layer of particles at the surface of the medium to multiple layers and eventually clogging of the system. We derive the complete deposition dynamics and show that colloid accumulation is a self-limited mechanism towards a deposited fraction associated with a balance between the particle interactions and the imposed flow rate. These trends are explained and predicted using a simple probability model considering the particle adsorption energy and the variation of the drag energy with evolving porosity. This constitutes a direct validation of speculated particle transport mechanisms, and a further understanding of accumulation mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
- - Bilothorax is a rare but serious condition where bile accumulates in the pleural space, often linked to injuries in the biliary system or diaphragm.
- - A 70-year-old female with liver cirrhosis developed a pleural effusion after undergoing ERCP and biliary stenting, which persisted for 2 months without noticeable symptoms.
- - The patient underwent thoracentesis, revealing 435 mL of bilious fluid, confirming bilothorax, underscoring the need to consider this condition in similar patients.

Mild photothermal therapy (PTT) shows the potential for chemosensitization by tumor-localized P-glycoprotein (P-gp) modulation. However, conventional mild PTT struggles with real-time uniform temperature control, obscuring the temperature-performance relationship and resulting in thermal damage. Besides, the time-performance relationship and the underlying mechanism of mild PTT-mediated P-gp reversal remains elusive.

Cardiac ischemia results in anaerobic metabolism and lactic acid accumulation and with time, intracellular and extracellular acidosis. Ischemia and subsequent reperfusion injury (IRI) lead to various forms of programmed cell death. Necroptosis is a major form of programmed necrosis that worsens cardiac function directly and also promotes inflammation by the release of cellular contents.
