Effects of monovalent anions of the Hofmeister series on DPPC lipid bilayers part II: Modeling the perpendicular and lateral equation-of-state
(2007)The effects of Hofmeister anions on the perpendicular and lateral equation-of-state (EOS) of the dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine lamellar phase discussed in the companion article are here examined using appropriate free ...

Evolution of osmotic pressure in solid tumors
(2014)The mechanical microenvironment of solid tumors includes both fluid and solid stresses. These stresses play a crucial role in cancer progression and treatment and have been analyzed rigorously both mathematically and ...

Experimental measurements and mathematical modeling towards quantification of brain swelling stress
(2017)Traumatic brain injury results in brain tissue swelling which can be a life threatening condition due to skull confinement. While previous efforts successfully measured the exhibited volume change in brain tissue swelling, ...

Hyaluronan-Derived Swelling of Solid Tumors, the Contribution of Collagen and Cancer Cells, and Implications for Cancer Therapy
(2016)Despite the important role that mechanical forces play in tumor growth and therapy, the contribution of swelling to tumor mechanopathology remains unexplored. Tumors rich in hyaluronan exhibit a highly negative fixed charge ...

The ion-lipid battle for hydration water and interfacial sites at soft-matter interfaces
(2014)At charged surfaces "bound" ions reduce the repulsive electrostatic forces, while dissociated ions control the osmotic pressure in colloidal systems. For systems charged through ionic adsorption on the other hand, the ...
