The paper uses synchrotron tomography to show diurnal starch fluctuations and osmotic water pumping in pine needle vascular cells, linking starch metabolism to water flow regulation.

The paper develops a network model to show how transfusion tissue in conifer needles facilitates radial transport of sugar and water by separating their pathways, mitigating flow bottlenecks.

The paper models glymphatic flow as a network of hydraulic resistances under different parametric scenarios to identify key parameters influencing CSF dynamics.
