Artificial Organs
Scientists at Ghent University, Institute of Biomedical Technology discuss research in artificial organs
December 24th, 2006
Fresh data on artificial organs are presented in the report "Three-dimensional numerical modeling and computational fluid dynamics simulations to analyze and improve oxygen availability in the AMC bioartificial liver." According to a study from Gent, Belgium, "A numerical model to investigate fluid flow and oxygen (O(2)) transport and consumption in the AMC-Bioartificial Liver (AMC-BAL) was developed and applied to two representative micro models of the AMC-BAL with two different gas capillary patterns, each combined with two proposed hepatocyte distributions. Parameter studies were performed on each configuration to gain insight in fluid flow, shear stress distribution and oxygen...
