The aim of this work is to investigate the dynamic behavior of retinoic acid concentration within the coronary artery, examining its distribution both on the stent and to the lumen and the arterial wall. The study aims to elucidate the effect of various factors, including variations in retinoic acid concentration on the stent, the applied blood flow velocity as boundary condition within the lumen, the polymer layer porosity, the arterial wall porosity and the drug permeability. Through a comprehensive analysis of these factors, this research seeks to advance the understanding of how retinoic acid behaves in the complex environment of the coronary artery, offering valuable insights into potential therapeutic applications and advances in cardiovascular medicine. To do this, a multiscale computational model for drug delivery is employed and applied in a stented arterial segment. 3D reconstruction of the arterial artery was achieved using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and X-ray angiography. The positioning of stent geometry was performed using finite element modeling of stent deployment. The results demonstrate that changes to important parameters of the model lead to significant changes to the drug *** Relevance: The importance of this work is related to the development and design of new coronary stents and potentially consider the patient’s phenotype and provide personalized applications.

Band structure determines the motion of electrons in a solid, giving rise to exotic phenomena when properly engineered. Drawing an analogy between electrons and photons, artificially designed optical lattices indicate the possibility of a similar band modulation effect in graphene systems. Yet due to the fermionic nature of electrons, modulated electronic systems promise far richer categories of behaviors than those found in optical lattices. Here, we uncovered a strong modulation of electronic states in bilayer graphene subject to periodic potentials. We observed for the first time the hybridization of electron and hole sub-bands, resulting in local band gaps at both primary and secondary charge neutrality points. Such hybridization leads to the formation of flat bands, enabling the study of correlated effects in graphene systems. This work may provide a novel way to manipulate electronic states in layered systems, which is important to both fundamental research and application.
