Effects of hemodynamic shear stress on circulating breast cancer cells by Khairunisa Liyana Abdul Malek

“…The ability of a cancer cell to relocate to a distal location and subsequently form tumours largely depends on its ability to withstand hemodynamic shear stress in the blood vessel. While previous studies have shown that cancer cells have an enhanced resistance towards these intense conditions, little is known whether a tumour cell's metastatic ability is correlated to its ability to survive high shear stress levels over a prolonged period of time. …”

Rapidly yawing spheroids in viscous shear flow: emergent loss of symmetry by Dalwadi, M

“…We investigate the emergent three-dimensional (3D) dynamics of a rapidly yawing spheroidal swimmer interacting with a viscous shear flow. We show that the rapid yawing generates non axisymmetric emergent effects, with the active swimmer behaving as an effective passive particle with two orthogonal planes of symmetry. …”
