- Title:
- Flows Govern how Veins Adapt
- Abstract:
- The physics of flows shapes living networks. This applies to the human circulatory system, to vein structures in leaves and to the tubes making up fungal networks. Prof. Karen Alim, a biophysicist at TUM, and her team are investigating how exactly flows cause veins to adapt and grow. The end result could be new therapies against pathological changes in blood vessels that are based on purely physical principles.
