Cancer has been characterized as a genetic disease, associated with mutations that cause
pathological alterations of the cell cycle, adhesion, or invasive motility. Recently, the …

Understanding cardiovascular growth and remodeling (G&R) is fundamental for designing
robust cardiovascular tissue engineering strategies, which enable synthetic or biological …

Auxetic materials have gained increasing interest in the last decades, fostered by auspicious
applications in various fields. While the design of new auxetics has largely focused on meta …

In this contribution, a full 3D finite element model of electrospun networks is presented. The
model explicitly accounts for the specific microstructure of these networks by generating …

While the anisotropic behavior of the complex composite myocardial tissue has been well
characterized in recent years, the compressibility of the tissue has not been rigorously …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds serve important functions in tissue engineering
(TE) by providing physical and structural support for cells and delivering essential cues …

Constitutive models are of fundamental importance for describing the mechanical behavior
of vascular tissues. In this article, we present a constitutive model that explicitly accounts for …

One of the most crucial aspects of biomechanical simulations of physiological systems that
seek to predict the outcomes of disease, injury, and surgical interventions is the underlying …

Biomaterials are porous and three-dimensional (3D) templates, which are used as biological
substitutes in tissue engineering. Targeting the optimal design of biomaterials requires a …

This study was undertaken to develop a mathematical model of the long-term in vivo
remodeling processes in postimplanted pulmonary artery (PA) conduits. Experimental …
