In recent work, researchers show that particles in a flow near a deformable wall undergo a force that slightly distances them from it, an important result for the general understanding of transport phenomena in biology. It was predicted thirty years ago that an emerging lift force would act on an object moving in a viscous fluid close to an interface if the latter or the object were soft and deformable. nThis force that would result from the int…
