Successful progression from bench to bedside for regenerative medicine products is
challenging and requires a multidisciplinary approach. What has not yet been fully …

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 …

We present a review of porosity and diffusion in biological tissues from different
perspectives. We first introduce the topic by illustrating experimental evidence related to …

The mechanical behavior of the lungs has long been associated with the structural
properties of alveoli in pulmonary medicine. However, this structure-function relationship …

Filters whose porosity decreases with depth are often more efficient at removing solute from
a fluid than filters with a uniform porosity. We investigate this phenomenon via an extension …

In the present work a novel multiple scales asymptotic homogenization approach is
proposed to study the effective properties of hierarchical composites with periodic structure …

A system of differential equations for coupled fluid and drug transport in vascularized
(malignant) tissues is derived by a multiscale expansion. We start from mass and momentum …

Within this work we investigate the role that the microstructure of a poroelastic material has
on the resulting elastic parameters. We are considering the effect that multiple elastic and …

Research into cellular engineered bone grafts offers a promising solution to problems
associated with the currently used auto-and allografts. Bioreactor systems can facilitate the …

In the present work, we apply the asymptotic homogenization technique to the equations
describing the dynamics of a heterogeneous material with evolving micro-structure, thereby …
