Modeling the extracellular matrix in cell migration and morphogenesis: a guide for the curious biologist

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 12

Опубликована: Март 1, 2024

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a highly complex structure through which biochemical and mechanical signals are transmitted. In processes of cell migration, the ECM also acts as scaffold, providing structural support to cells well points potential attachment. Although well-studied structure, its role in many biological remains difficult investigate comprehensively due complexity variation within an organism. tandem with experiments, mathematical models helpful refining testing hypotheses, generating predictions, exploring conditions outside scope experiments. Such can be combined calibrated vivo vitro data identify critical cell-ECM interactions that drive developmental homeostatic processes, or progression diseases. this review, we focus on computational such migration including cancer metastasis, tissue morphogenesis. By highlighting predictive power these models, aim help bridge gap between experimental approaches studying provide guidance selecting appropriate model framework complement corresponding studies.

A review on the biomechanical behaviour of the aorta

Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical materials/Journal of mechanical behavior of biomedical materials, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 144, С. 105922 - 105922

Large aortic aneurysm and acute chronic dissection are pathologies of the aorta requiring surgery. Recent advances in medical intervention have improved patient outcomes; however, a clear understanding mechanisms leading to failure and, hence, better risk, is still missing. Biomechanical analysis could provide insights into development progression abnormalities, giving clinicians powerful tool risk stratification. The complexity system presents significant challenges for biomechanical study requires various approaches analyse aorta. To address this, here we present holistic review studies by categorising articles four broad approaches, namely theoretical, vivo, experimental combined investigations. Experimental that focus on identifying mechanical properties tissue also included. By reviewing literature discussing drawbacks, limitations future each area, hope more complete picture state-of-the-art biomechanics stimulate research critical topics. Combining modalities computational lead comprehensive results prediction system.

Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing technology creates a tangible object by adding successive layers of materials. Nowadays, is used for developing both metal and non-metal products. In the advancement technology, material specimen design, modification, testing become very simple, especially materials, such as hyperelastic, thermoplastic, rubber-like However, proper modeling validation are required analysis these types this study, printed poly lactic acid (PLA+) behavior analyzed numerically in counterpart experimental to evaluate their cases. The was designed SolidWorks following ASTM D638 dimension standards with infill densities raster angle orientation angle. These layer angles play an important role mechanical specimen. This paper aims present numerical five (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%) ±45-degree incorporating nonlinear hyperelastic model. Results indicate that affect PLA+ material. result also suggested neo-Hookean Mooney–Rivlin best-fitted models separate linear densities. easier analyze, it has only one parameter new equation developed study determining different

Methodological Aspects and Mesh Convergence in Numerical Analysis of Athermal Fiber Network Material Deformation

Fibers, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 12(1), С. 9 - 9

Опубликована: Янв. 12, 2024

A balance between model complexity, accuracy, and computational cost is a central concern in numerical simulations. In particular, for stochastic fiber networks, the non-affine deformation of fibers, related non-linear geometric features due to large global deformation, size effects can significantly affect accuracy computer experiment outputs increase cost. this work, we systematically investigate methodological aspects network simulations with focus on output models cellular (Voronoi) fibrous (Mikado) architecture. We study both p h-refinement discretizations finite element solution procedure, uniform length-based adaptive strategies. The analysis conducted linear elastic viscoelastic constitutive behavior as well networks initially straight crimped fibers. With relative error determining criterion, provide recommendations mesh refinement, comment necessity multiple realizations, give an overview associated that will serve guidance toward minimizing while maintaining desired level accuracy.
