Theoretical and empirical derivation of cardiovascular allometric relationships in children
TL;DR: Body surface area was found to be a more important determinant of the size of each of the cardiovascular structures than age, height, or weight alone and fit a complex model predicted by the nonlinear decrease of heart rate with growth.

TL;DR: It is shown that flow shapes the global patterning of the arterial tree and regulates the activation of the arteries ephrinB2 and neuropilin 1, which shows that expression of both mRNAs is not genetically determined but plastic and regulated by flow.

Evolution and Function of Leaf Venation Architecture: A Review
TL;DR: This review summarizes current knowledge of interrelationships between the form and function of leaf venation and the evolution of Leaf venation patterns and refers to the topic of individual and intraspecific variation.

Evolution of Water Transport and Xylem Structure
TL;DR: In this paper, a progression of innovations for cheap water transport is described, beginning with capillary suction at cell walls, stomatal regulation, hydroids, tracheids, secondary xylem, endodermis, and vessels.
Journal ArticleDOI
A cellular automaton model for tumour growth in inhomogeneous environment
TL;DR: It is shown that blood flow and red blood cell heterogeneity play major roles in the development of such colonies, even when the red blood cells are flowing through the vasculature of normal, healthy tissue.
