Abstract
Basic functions of living organisms are governed by the nervous system through bidirectional signals transmitted from the brain to neural networks. These signals are similar to electrical waves. In electrophysiology the goal is to study the electrical properties of biological cells and tissues, and the transmission of signals. From a physics perspective, there exists a field of electrical potential within the living body, the nervous system, extracellular space and cells. Electrophysiological problems can be investigated experimentally and also theoretically by developing appropriate mathematical or computational models. Due to the enormous complexity of biological systems, it would be almost impossible to establish a detailed computational model of the electrical field, even for only a single organ (e.g. heart), including the entirety of cells comprising the neural network. In order to make computational models feasible for practical applications, we here introduce the concept of smeared fields, which represents a generalization of the previously formulated multiscale smeared methodology for mass transport in blood vessels, lymph, and tissue. We demonstrate the accuracy of the smeared finite element computational models for the electric field in numerical examples. The electrical field is further coupled with ionic mass transport within tissue composed of interstitial spaces extracellularly and by cytoplasm and organelles intracellularly. The proposed methodology, which couples electrophysiology and molecular ionic transport, is applicable to a variety of biological systems.

Abstract
Metastatic disease is a major cause of mortality in cancer patients. While many drug delivery strategies for anticancer therapeutics have been developed in preclinical studies of primary tumors, the drug delivery properties of metastatic tumors have not been sufficiently investigated. Therapeutic efficacy hinges on efficient drug permeation into the tumor microenvironment, which is known to be heterogeneous thus potentially making drug permeation heterogeneous, also. In this study, we have identified that 4 T1 liver metastases, treated with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, have unfavorable and heterogeneous transport of doxorubicin. Our drug extravasation results differ greatly from analogous studies with 4 T1 tumors growing in the primary site. A probabilistic tumor population model was developed to estimate drug permeation efficiency and drug kinetics of liver metastases by integrating the transport and structural properties of tumors and delivered drugs. The results demonstrate significant heterogeneity in metastases with regard to transport properties of doxorubicin within the same animal model, and even within the same organ. These results also suggest that the degree of heterogeneity depends on the stage of tumor progression and that differences in transport properties can define transport-based tumor phenotypes. These findings may have valuable clinical implications by illustrating that therapeutic agents can permeate and eliminate metastases of "less resistant" transport phenotypes, while sparing tumors with more "resistant" transport properties. We anticipate that these results could challenge the current paradigm of drug delivery into metastases, highlight potential caveats for therapies that may alter tumor perfusion, and deepen our understanding of the emergence of drug transport-based therapeutic resistance.

Abstract
Modeling of drug transport within capillaries and tissue remains a challenge, especially in tumors and cancers where the capillary network exhibits extremely irregular geometry. Recently introduced Composite Smeared Finite Element (CSFE) provides a new methodology of modeling complex convective and diffusive transport in the capillary-tissue system. The basic idea in the formulation of CSFE is in dividing the FE into capillary and tissue domain, coupled by 1D connectivity elements at each node. Mass transport in capillaries is smeared into continuous fields of pressure and concentration by introducing the corresponding Darcy and diffusion tensors. Despite theoretically correct foundation, there are still differences in the overall mass transport to (and from) tissue when comparing smeared model and a true 3D model. The differences arise from the fact that the smeared model cannot take into account the detailed non-uniform pressure and concentration distribution in the vicinity of capillaries. We introduced a field of correction function for diffusivity through the capillary walls of smeared models, in order to have the same mass accumulation in tissue as in case of true 3D models. The parameters of the numerically determined correction function are: ratio of thickness and diameter of capillary wall, ratio of diffusion coefficient in capillary wall and surrounding tissue; and volume fraction of capillaries within tissue domain. Partitioning at the capillary wall - blood interface can also be included. It was shown that the correction function is applicable to complex configurations of capillary networks, providing improved accuracy of our robust smeared models in computer simulations of real transport problems, such as in tumors or human organs.

Abstract
One of the basic and vital processes in living organisms is mass exchange, which occurs on several levels: it goes from blood vessels to cells and organelles within cells. On that path, molecules, as oxygen, metabolic products, drugs, etc. Traverse different macro and micro environments - blood, extracellular/intracellular space, and interior of organelles; and also biological barriers such as walls of blood vessels and membranes of cells and organelles. Many aspects of this mass transport remain unknown, particularly the biophysical mechanisms governing drug delivery. The main research approach relies on laboratory and clinical investigations. In parallel, considerable efforts have been directed to develop computational tools for additional insight into the intricate process of mass exchange and transport. Along these lines, we have recently formulated a composite smeared finite element (CSFE) which is composed of the smeared continuum pressure and concentration fields of the capillary and lymphatic system, and of these fields within tissue. The element offers an elegant and simple procedure which opens up new lines of inquiry and can be applied to large systems such as organs and tumors models. Here, we extend this concept to a multiscale scheme which concurrently couples domains that span from large blood vessels, capillaries and lymph, to cell cytosol and further to organelles of nanometer size. These spatial physical domains are coupled by the appropriate connectivity elements representing biological barriers. The composite finite element has "degrees of freedom" which include pressures and concentrations of all compartments of the vessels-tissue assemblage. The overall model uses the standard, measurable material properties of the continuum biological environments and biological barriers. It can be considered as a framework into which we can incorporate various additional effects (such as electrical or biochemical) for transport through membranes or within cells. This concept and the developed FE software within our package PAK offers a computational tool that can be applied to whole-organ systems, while also including specific domains such as tumors. The solved examples demonstrate the accuracy of this model and its applicability to large biological systems.

Abstract
One of the key processes in living organisms is mass transport occurring from blood vessels to tissues for supplying tissues with oxygen, nutrients, drugs, immune cells, and - in the reverse direction - transport of waste products of cell metabolism to blood vessels. The mass exchange from blood vessels to tissue and vice versa occurs through blood vessel walls. This vital process has been investigated experimentally over centuries, and also in the last decades by the use of computational methods. Due to geometrical and functional complexity and heterogeneity of capillary systems, it is however not feasible to model in silico individual capillaries (including transport through the walls and coupling to tissue) within whole organ models. Hence, there is a need for simplified and robust computational models that address mass transport in capillary-tissue systems. We here introduce a smeared modeling concept for gradient-driven mass transport and formulate a new composite smeared finite element (CSFE). The transport from capillary system is first smeared to continuous mass sources within tissue, under the assumption of uniform concentration within capillaries. Here, the fundamental relation between capillary surface area and volumetric fraction is derived as the basis for modeling transport through capillary walls. Further, we formulate the CSFE which relies on the transformation of the one-dimensional (1D) constitutive relations (for transport within capillaries) into the continuum form expressed by Darcy's and diffusion tensors. The introduced CSFE is composed of two volumetric parts - capillary and tissue domains, and has four nodal degrees of freedom (DOF): pressure and concentration for each of the two domains. The domains are coupled by connectivity elements at each node. The fictitious connectivity elements take into account the surface area of capillary walls which belongs to each node, as well as the wall material properties (permeability and partitioning). The overall FE model contains geometrical and material characteristics of the entire capillary-tissue system, with physiologically measurable parameters assigned to each FE node within the model. The smeared concept is implemented into our implicit-iterative FE scheme and into FE package PAK. The first three examples illustrate accuracy of the CSFE element, while the liver and pancreas models demonstrate robustness of the introduced methodology and its applicability to real physiological conditions.

Abstract
This imaging system aims at recording images of the core size and shape of an imploding deuterium-tritium (DT) microballoon on LMJ inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments. Image acquisition is difficult due to the harsh surrounding created by the fusion reaction, which affects system specifications. This one is made of a scintillator, an optical relay, and a CCD camera shielded from the surrounding. The system was tested on different facilities at CEA/DIF, where a spatial resolution of 120 μm was achieved and gamma dose up to 20 rad effects were measured. Setup and performed test are described.

Abstract
High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs), especially HPV-16, play a primary role in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer. HPV-16 encodes the E5, E6 and E7 oncoproteins. Although the biological functions of E5 are poorly understood, recent studies indicate that its expression correlates with papillomavirus oncogenicity. In this study we demonstrate that the HPV-16 E5 oncoprotein increases plasma membrane expression of caveolin-1, which is a constituent of lipid rafts and regulator of cell signaling, and that this phenotype is mediated by the C-terminal 10 amino acids of E5. Moreover, E5 (but not mutant E5) induces a 23- to 40-fold increase in the lipid raft component, ganglioside GM1, on the cell surface and mediates a dramatic increase in caveolin-1/GM1 association. Since gangliosides strongly inhibit cytotoxic T lymphocytes, block immune synapse formation and are expressed at high levels on the surface of many tumor cells, our results suggest a potential mechanism for immune evasion by the papillomaviruses. Additionally, surface gangliosides are known to enhance proliferative signaling by the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor, providing a possible mechanistic basis for observations that EGF signaling is enhanced in E5-expressing cells. Finally, the upregulation of caveolin-1 and ganglioside GM1 at the plasma membrane of E5-expressing cervical cells provides potential new therapeutic targets and diagnostic markers for high-risk HPV infections.
