    Journal of Biomechanical Engineering
    The primary function of the lung is to facilitate gas exchange between inhaled air and the circulating blood. The respiratory system is the first line of defense against inhaled particulate matter, which may originate from environmental, occupational, or recreational sources. Intertwined air and blood vessels span from a couple cm in diameter to micron-sized passages in the deep lung and capillary bed. This special issue will showcase manuscripts that mathematically, numerically, or experimentally represent the respiratory system in health and disease.

    Topic Areas

    THE SCOPE OF THIS ISSUE INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO:
    • Airflow and particulate transport and deposition within the airways
    • Characterization of pulmonary structural mechanics across the organ, tissue, and microscructural scale
    • Models of pulmonary circulation
    • Development of immunology strategies to combat lung diseases
    • Tissue deformation maps during normal and mechanical ventilation
    • Therapeutic drug delivery targeting and optimization
    • Cell based and organ on the chip based lung models
    • Vasculature biomechanics

    The price of yearly membership depends on a number of factors, so final price will be calculated during checkout.
