In this paper we present an overview of agent-based models that are used to simulate
mechanical and physiological phenomena in cells and tissues, and we discuss underlying …

Each individual's skin has its own features, such as strength, elasticity, or permeability to
drugs, which limits the effectiveness of one-size-fits-all approaches typically found in …

The use of meshfree and particle methods in the field of bioengineering and biomechanics
has significantly increased. This may be attributed to their unique abilities to overcome most …

Understanding the homing dynamics of individual mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in
physiologically relevant microenvironments is crucial for improving the efficacy of MSC …

Natural cellular materials, such as marine mussels, honeycombs, woods, trabecular bones,
plant parenchyma, sponges and protoreaster nodosus, may benefit from the disorderliness …

Mathematical models are increasingly designed to guide experiments in biology,
biotechnology, as well as to assist in medical decision making. They are in particular …

A continuum mixture theory is formulated for large deformations, thermal effects, phase
interactions, and degradation of soft biologic tissues suitable at high pressures and low to …

The mechanical damage of exocarp, mesocarp and locular gel tissues of three and four
locular tomatoes subjected to an external compressive force were predicted using multiscale …

Adhesion governs to a large extent the mechanical interaction between a cell and its
microenvironment. As initial cell spreading is purely adhesion driven, understanding this …

Model simulations indicate that the response of growing cell populations on mechanical
stress follows the same functional relationship and is predictable over different cell lines and …
