Smooth muscles are complex tissues containing a variety of cells in addition to muscle cells.
Interstitial cells of mesenchymal origin interact with and form electrical connectivity with …

Mathematical and computational modeling of the stomach is an emerging field of
biomechanics where several complex phenomena, such as gastric electrophysiology, fluid …

Chaste—C ancer, H eart A nd S oft T issue E nvironment—is an open source C++ library for

The motility of the stomach is coordinated by an electrical activity termed" slow waves", and
slow-wave dysrhythmias contribute to motility disorders. One major method for clinically …

The stomach is a central organ in the gastrointestinal tract that performs a variety of
functions, in which the spatio-temporal organisation of active smooth muscle contraction in …

Gastrointestinal motility research is progressing rapidly, leading to significant advances in
the last 15 years in understanding the cellular mechanisms underlying motility, following the …

The contraction activation of smooth muscle in the stomach wall (SW) is coordinated by slow
electrical waves. The interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), specialised pacemaker cells, initiate and …

Experimental progress in investigating normal and disordered gastric motility is increasingly
being complimented by sophisticated multiscale modeling studies. Mathematical modeling …

The number of myenteric interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC‐MY), responsible for the generation
and propagation of the slow wave in the small intestine, has been shown to decrease in …

Gastric distension is known to affect normal slow-wave activity and gastric function, but links
between slow-wave dysrhythmias and stomach function are poorly understood. Low …
