Active matter, which ranges from molecular motors to groups of animals, exists at different
length scales and timescales, and various computational models have been proposed to …

Analogies with inert soft condensed matter—such as viscoelastic liquids, pastes, foams,
emulsions, colloids, and polymers—can be used to investigate the mechanical response of …

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 …

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 …

Although rigidity and jamming transitions have been widely studied in physics and material
science, their importance in a number of biological processes, including embryo …

Two major mechanisms are involved in the formation of blood vasculature: vasculogenesis
and angiogenesis. The former term describes the formation of a capillary-like network from …

This paper presents a modeling framework to describe the driving mechanisms of cyclic
failure in brittle and ductile materials, including cyclic plasticity and fatigue crack growth. A …

Cell transitions between the epithelial and mesenchymal phenotypes provide the regulated
morphogenesis and regeneration throughout the ontogenesis. The tissue mechanics and …

AFM-based rheology methods enable the investigation of the viscoelastic properties of
cancer cells. Such properties are known to be essential for cell functions, especially for …

A new mathematical model is developed for the macroscopic behaviour of a porous, linear
elastic solid, saturated with a slowly flowing incompressible, viscous fluid, with surface …
