With heart and cardiovascular diseases continually challenging healthcare systems
worldwide, translating basic research on cardiac (patho) physiology into clinical care is …

Tumor progression and response to treatment is determined in large part by the generation
of mechanical stresses that stem from both the solid and the fluid phase of the tumor …

Residual stress is an important manufacture factor affecting the working life of components
and structures. In this paper, a dimensionless method is proposed to determine the residual …

This monograph presents a general mathematical theory for biological growth. It provides
both a conceptual and a technical foundation for the understanding and analysis of …

A major problem in biology is to understand how complex tissue shapes may arise through
growth. In many cases this process involves preferential growth along particular orientations …

The neonatal heart undergoes normal hypertrophy or compensation to complete
development and adapt to increased systolic pressures. Hypertrophy and increased …

It is often important to include prestress in computational models of biological tissues. The
prestress can represent residual stresses (stresses that exist after the tissue is excised from …

Myocardial infarction (MI) rapidly impairs cardiac contractile function and instigates
maladaptive remodeling leading to heart failure. Patient-specific models are a maturing …

Personalized cardiac mechanics modeling is a powerful tool for understanding the
biomechanics of cardiac function in health and disease and assisting in treatment planning …

Progressive left ventricular (LV) growth and remodelling (G&R) is often induced by volume
and pressure overload, characterized by structural and functional adaptation through …
