The geometry of porous scaffolds that are used for bone tissue engineering and/or bone
substitution has recently been shown to significantly influence the cellular response and the …

One of the most remarkable differences between classical engineering materials and living
matter is the ability of the latter to grow and remodel in response to diverse stimuli. The …

Final organ size and shape result from volume expansion by growth and shape changes by
contractility. Complex morphologies can also arise from differences in growth rate between …

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 …

Despite major scientific, medical and technological advances over the last few decades, a
cure for cancer remains elusive. The disease initiation is complex, and including initiation …

Mathematical modeling, analysis and simulation are set to play crucial roles in explaining
tumor behavior, and the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells over multiple time and spatial …

The past two decades reveal a growing role of continuum biomechanics in understanding
homeostasis, adaptation, and disease progression in soft tissues. In this paper, we briefly …

Recently, much attention has been given to a noteworthy property of some soft tissues: their
ability to grow. Many attempts have been made to model this behavior in biology, chemistry …

Resorting to a multiphase modelling framework, tumours are described here as a mixture of
tumour and host cells within a porous structure constituted by a remodelling extracellular …

Despite major advances in the study of glioma, the quantitative links between intra-tumor
molecular/cellular properties, clinically observable properties such as morphology, and …
