About this title

Synopsis

Reviews the latest views in microvascular transport

Covers the state-of-the-art research in transport across the blood-brain barrier as well as new findings related to the endothelial surface glycocalyx as a mechanosensor to blood flow

Presents mathematical models for interactions between circulating cells and endothelial cells forming the microvessel wall
