Neurodevelopment is a complex, dynamic process that involves a precisely orchestrated
sequence of genetic, environmental, biochemical, and physical events. Developmental …

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 …

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 …

Crumpled graphene films are widely used, for instance in electronics, energy storage,,
composites, and biomedicine. Although it is known that the degree of crumpling affects …

As a fundamental component for human–machine interaction and human health monitoring,
stretchable strain sensors suffer from an irreconcilable trade-off between sensitivity and …

The surface wrinkling of biological tissues is ubiquitous in nature. Accumulating evidence
suggests that the mechanical force plays a significant role in shaping the biological …

A variety of fascinating morphological patterns arise on surfaces of growing, developing or
aging tissues, organs and microorganism colonies. These patterns can be classified into …

Convolutions are a classical hallmark of most mammalian brains. Brain surface morphology
is often associated with intelligence and closely correlated with neurological dysfunction …

The objective of this paper is to provide a review on some aspects of the mathematical and
computational modelling of skin biophysics, with special focus on constitutive theories based …

The wrinkle dynamics (such as reversibility and stability) of human skin are affected by the
external stimuli, as well as the skin's structure and mechanical properties. Inspired by these …
