Abstract

From intracellular protein signaling to embryonic symmetry-breaking, fluid transport ubiquitously drives biological events in living systems. We provide an overview of the fundamental fluid mechanics and transport phenomena across a range of length scales in cellular systems, with emphasis on how cellular functions are influenced by fluid transport. We also highlight how understanding the physical basis of these fluid dynamic phenomena can be implemented to engineer increasingly complex multicellular systems that recapitulate tissue-level functions. Examples discussed include the manipulation of intracellular fluid volume to achieve cell differentiation/dedifferentiation and the use of microfluidic systems to control the spatial and temporal distribution of morphogens and fluid forces to generate vascularized organoids.
