Cells respond to and actively remodel the extracellular matrix (ECM). The dynamic and
bidirectional interaction between cells and ECM, especially their mechanical interactions …

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 …

Most mathematical models of the growth and remodeling of load-bearing soft tissues are
based on one of two major approaches: a kinematic theory that specifies an evolution …

Cell–cell adhesion strength, measured as tissue surface tension, spans an enormous 1000-
fold range when different cell types are compared. However, the examination of basic …

Classical engineering materials typically seek to maintain or attain a relaxed, stress‐free
state, if admitted by the boundary conditions. By contrast, living tissues seek to establish and …

In this paper, we introduce a three-dimensional mathematical model of collagen contraction
with microbuckling based on the two-dimensional model previously developed by the …
