Our latest work on 🫁 drug delivery is now published as open access in Nature Scientific Reports: A 3D computational model of the airway surface liquid (ASL) that resolves cilia motion and viscoelastic mucus to track dissolution and transport of small‑molecule drugs. The work also introduces a Ciliary Attachment Ratio (CAR) to probe how much dose binds to cilia vs reaches the epithelium More details at https://t.co/VPgJH50xh4

A first of its kind, super timely workshop is happening next week at Lorentz Center in Leiden @lorentzcenter on the formation of respiratory aerosols. My own interest lies in the very difficult task of modeling the formation of aerosols when mucus plugs form & break during the collapse & reopening of small airways. https://t.co/DZSYrAeI3v

Starting today we initiate a series of science podcasts 🎧 on X showcasing some of the most exciting research output of @UCompsci @respihub & collaborators. Thanks to Google for making this possible. These podcasts are themselves a testimony of the real value of AI 🚀🚀

@RinatShay In the lab we saw a trend of improving speedup ratio as we went from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 nodes, I’m suspecting it has to do with more efficient use of lazy evaluation in each node. To be fair we should average performance over many more tries for each setup & compare averages

Interested in joining @respihub to work with us on new AI-assisted methods for assessing ventilation distribution in the developing 🫁? Read the application guide & submit under the Scientific Area “Respiratory System: basic to translational biomedical science & engineering ” 👇

[Stavros Kassinos @KassinosS]

Nothing short of a transformative moment in engineering education and practice. Not even my stupid spelling mistakes can throw it off course @OpenAI

[Stavros Kassinos @KassinosS]

I hope @DemosLemesou looks into the matter before we have loss of life and property.

[Stavros Kassinos @KassinosS]

Happy that our proposal to the @lorentzcenter for a workshop on the generation of bioaerosols in the 🫁 has been shortlisted. We’ll be busy working on the full proposal to address a significant gap in knowledge important in novel disease detection & in preparing for pandemics

A proof-of-concept study on the effect of MPs on the efficiency of UV disinfection. MP-associated bacteria exhibited slower UV inactivation than free bacteria. However, overlooking UV transmittance leads to overestimation of the MPs effect https://t.co/7sWIN1PyXR @WaterRes_J

Indoor laundry machines & dryers, especially in apartment settings w/o properly installed ventilation & the prevalence of detergents w/ extremely strong scents constitute a hazard for people with chronic 🫁 symptoms. Why strong scents when active ingredients are mostly odorless?

Happy the the 2nd part in this series has just been published. iBCS. 2: Mechanistic Modeling of Pulmonary Availability of Inhaled Drugs versus Critical Product Attributes https://t.co/ZizmrM1sXF

[Stavros Kassinos @KassinosS]

I have learned so much from my co-authors through the long Zoom discussions that led to this and the following parts. A humbling and inspiring experience. iBCS: 1. Principles and Framework of an Inhalation-Based Biopharmaceutics Classification System https://t.co/yva2VYta5x

For COPD patients, the risk of death from covid-19 is about 17 times higher than that of healthy people. There are millions of people who suffer from COPD. From the talk of Prof. Christine Jenkins in “Transforming respiratory care” session this afternoon in #ERSCongress 2021.
