Common scaling laws for city highway systems and the mammalian neocortex
Mark A. Changizi,Marc Destefano +1 more
TL;DR: Investigation of city highway systems as a potential kind of network which may be driven by similar principles as the neocortex, and the prima facie analogy between city highway networks and the brain’s neural connections is examined.

Analytical model of the feto-placental vascular system: consideration of placental oxygen transport
TL;DR: A ‘mixed model’ whereby both ‘conductive’ and ‘terminal’ villi are presumed to be present at the end of single (in human) or multiple (in mouse) pregnancies is proposed, predicting an optimal number of 18 and 22 bifurcation levels in the human and the mouse placentas, respectively.

Computational Evaluation of Venous Graft Geometries in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors demonstrate that the coronary artery runoffs are relatively insensitive to the choice of SVG revascularization geometry and show that the wall shear stress on the vein graft depends on both flow rate and diameter and follows an inverse power scaling consistent with a Poiseuille flow assumption.

Channeled ECM-Based Nanofibrous Hydrogel for Engineering Vascularized Cardiac Tissues.
TL;DR: The development of a channeled ECM-based nanofibrous hydrogel for engineering vascularized cardiac tissues and the true potential of the vascularized hydrogels to form a viable cardiac patch was studied.

Self-Similar Processes Follow a Power Law in Discrete Logarithmic Space.
TL;DR: This work constructs a discrete power-law distribution that arises naturally from a simple model of hierarchical self-similar processes such as turbulence and vasculature, and derives the maximum-likelihood estimate (MLE) for its exponent.
