Mathematical modeling of collagen turnover in biological tissue.
We present a theoretical and computational model for collagen turnover in soft biological tissues. Driven by alterations in the mechanical environment, collagen fiber bundles may undergo important chronic changes, characterized primarily by alterations in collagen synthesis and degradation rates. In particular, hypertension triggers an increase in tropocollagen synthesis and a decrease in colla...
متن کاملMathematical modeling of biological systems
In the past 50 years, major discoveries in biology have changed the direction of science. From the study of the sexual life of oysters, which was in some sense boring for the previous generations, biology has become today the Queen of Science. All hardcore fields, such as physics, mathematics, chemistry, and computer science are now necessary for the big adventure of unraveling the secrets of l...
متن کاملMathematical modeling of biological systems
Mathematical and computational models are increasingly used to help interpret biomedical data produced by high-throughput genomics and proteomics projects. The application of advanced computer models enabling the simulation of complex biological processes generates hypotheses and suggests experiments. Appropriately interfaced with biomedical databases, models are necessary for rapid access to, ...
متن کاملMathematical modeling of cancer cell invasion of tissue: biological insight from mathematical analysis and computational simulation.
The ability of cancer cells to break out of tissue compartments and invade locally gives solid tumours a defining deadly characteristic. One of the first steps of invasion is the remodelling of the surrounding tissue or extracellular matrix (ECM) and a major part of this process is the over-expression of proteolytic enzymes, such as the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and matrix meta...
متن کاملMathematical Modeling of Uniaxial Mechanical Properties of Collagen Gel Scaffolds for Vascular Tissue Engineering
Small diameter tissue-engineered arteries improve their mechanical and functional properties when they are mechanically stimulated. Applying a suitable stress and/or strain with or without a cycle to the scaffolds and cells during the culturing process resides in our ability to generate a suitable mechanical model. Collagen gel is one of the most used scaffolds in vascular tissue engineering, m...
