XMM-Newton multi-year campaign on NGC 55 ULX-1: Resolving the wind and its variability with RGS
C. Pinto, S. Caserta, F. Barra +12
Winds are an important ingredient in the evolution of X-ray binary (XRB) systems, particularly those at high accretion rates such as ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs), because th…
The morphology of cell spheroids in simple shear flow
Rosalia Ferraro, Jasmin Di Franco, Sergio Caserta +1
Cell spheroids are a widely used model to investigate cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions in a 3D microenvironment in vitro. Most research on cell spheroids has been focused on…
Impact of surfactant polydispersity on the phase and flow behaviour in water: the case of Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate
Rosalia Ferraro, Maria Michela Salvatore, Rodolfo Esposito +4
This study delves into the impact of molecular polydispersity on the phase behaviour of Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES) surfactant, aiming to deepen understanding of its implica…
A low-cost, user-friendly rheo-optical compression assay to measure mechanical properties of cell spheroids in standard cell culture plates
Rosalia Ferraro, Sergio Caserta, Stefano Guido
The mechanical characterization of cell spheroids, one of the most widely used 3D biology models in vitro, is a hotspot of current research on the role played by the mechanical res…
Collective rotational motion of freely-expanding T84 epithelial cell colonies
Flora Ascione, Sergio Caserta, Speranza Esposito +6
Coordinated rotational motion is an intriguing, yet still elusive mode of collective cell migration, which is relevant in pathological and morphogenetic processes. Most of the stud…
Diffusion-induced anisotropic cancer invasion: a novel experimental method based on tumour spheroids
Rosalia Ferraro, Flora Ascione, Prashant Dogra +3
Tumour invasion is strongly influenced by microenvironment and, among other parameters, chemical stimuli play an important role. An innovative methodology for the quantitative inve…
On the effect of coalescence on the rheology of emulsions
Francesco De Vita, Marco Edoardo Rosti, Sergio Caserta +1
We present a numerical study of the rheology of a two-fluid emulsion in dilute and semidilute conditions. The analysis is performed for different capillary numbers, volume fraction…
Numerical Simulations of Vorticity Banding of Emulsions in Shear Flows
Francesco De Vita, Marco Edoardo Rosti, Sergio Caserta +1
Multiphase shear flows often show banded structures that affect the global behavior of complex fluids e.g. in microdevices. Here we investigate numerically the banding of emulsions…
Dynamic behaviour of Multilamellar Vesicles under Poiseuille flow
Angelo Pommella, Dario Donnarumma, Sergio Caserta +1
Surfactant solutions exhibit multilamellar surfactant vesicles (MLVs) under flow conditions and in concentration ranges which are found in a large number of industrial applications…
