The emerging role of micro- and nanoscale hot-wire anemometry would likely accelerate the translation of in vitro devices to in vivo applications, thereby bridging the lab-to-patient gap. Real-time measurements of intravascular physical parameters, specifically shear stress, temperature, pressure, and flow rate, provide a basis to link hemodynamics with biochemical events in blood vessels. The complex curvature of the vascular system requires small, minimally invasive sensors to discretely measure in real time intravascular physical parameters with minimal blood flow disturbance. To achieve this, flexible micro-and nanoscale sensors would allow for steering in the complicated anatomy in biological systems (Fig. 11). In summary, the utilization of micro- or nanoscale sensors provides a quantitative assessment of vascular hemodynamics. This approach lends itself to applications in broad areas of medicine and physiology and is particularly relevant to quantitative studies of cancer biology as well as... 

CSF is not a homogeneous fluid, but is derived from various sources. It is therefore relevant to consider if only in a brief fashion, the source of the various brain fluids, each of which will contribute relatively different amounts of analytes. Studies on the origin of CSF are conveniently described under the four classical headings of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and pathology.
