Abstract Recent years have seen a tremendous growth of interest in understanding the role that the adaptive immune system could play in interdicting tumor progression. In this context, it has been shown that the density of adaptive immune cells inside a solid tumor serves as a favorable prognostic marker across different types of cancer. The exact mechanisms underlying the degree of immune cell infiltration is largely unknown. Here, we quantify the temporal dynamics of the density profile of activated immune cells around a solid tumor spheroid. We propose a computational model incorporating immune cells with active, persistent movement and a proliferation rate that depends on the presence of cancer cells, and show that the model able to reproduce semi-quantitatively the experimentally measured infiltration profile. Studying the density distribution of immune cells inside a solid tumor can help us better understand immune trafficking in the tumor micro-environment, hopefully leading towards novel immunotherapeutic strategies.more » « less

Core Ideas Stormwater infiltration affects groundwater recharge chemistry and water–aquifer matrix interactions. Cl and Na were retained in the vadose zone beneath the basin with lag time between their respective releases. Cl caused desorption of Ra and mobilization into groundwater. Evaporation occurred between stormwater inflow and infiltration to the water table. Stormwater recharge‐influenced groundwater preferentially moved through higher‐permeability layers.more » « less

Understanding the invasion of a liquid into porous structures is the foundation of the characterization of the porosity-related properties of materials and is also of fundamental importance in the design of porous solid–liquid enabled energy protection systems, yet whether solid pores deform has been unclear so far. Here, we present a competition mechanism between liquid infiltration and cell wall buckling deformation by investigating a liquid nanofoam (LN) system subjected to quasi-static compression. The critical buckling stress of the cell wall and the infiltration pressure of liquid invasion into nanopores are studied and correlated through numerical simulation and experimental validation to reveal the quantitative relationship between nanopore deformation and liquid invasion. The analysis shows that liquid infiltration occurs, independent of the axial buckling stress of the cell wall; in contrast, the nanopore collapses radially when the radial collapse pressure is lower than the pressure of liquid infiltration, preventing the liquid invasion. Comprehensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed and demonstrate the deformation behavior of nanopores and cell wall–liquid interactions in a broad range. Pressure-induced compression experiments on a silica-based LN system are carried out and validate these theoretical and MD results.more » « less
