Computational Nano-mechanics and Multi-scale Simulation
This article provides a review of the computational nanomechanics, from the ab initio methods to classical molecular dynamics simulations, and multitemporal and spatial scale simulations. The recent improvements and developments are briefly discussed. Their applications in nanomechanics and nanotubes are also summarized.
متن کاملComputational model to probe cellular mechanics during epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
During the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), polarized cells in the epithelium can undergo a transformation characterized by the loss of cell-cell junctions and increased migratory activity into nonpolarized invasive cells. These cells adopt a mesenchymal shape and migrate into the basal lamina. Such transitions have been observed in developmental processes and have been linked to can...
متن کاملThe Influence of Cell Mechanics, Cell-Cell Interactions, and Proliferation on Epithelial Packing
BACKGROUND Epithelial junctional networks assume packing geometries characterized by different cell shapes, neighbor number distributions and areas. The development of specific packing geometries is tightly controlled; in the Drosophila wing epithelium, cells convert from an irregular to a hexagonal array shortly before hair formation. Packing geometry is determined by developmental mechanisms ...
متن کاملComputational Challenges in Building Multi-Scale and Multi-Physics Models of Cardiac Electro-Mechanics.
Despite the evident multiphysics nature of the heart – it is an electrically controlled mechanical pump – most modeling studies considered electrophysiology and mechanics in isolation. In no small part, this is due to the formidable modeling challenges involved in building strongly coupled anatomically accurate and biophyically detailed multi-scale multi-physics models of cardiac electro-mechan...
متن کاملProbing red blood cell mechanics, rheology and dynamics with a two-component multi-scale model.
This study is partially motivated by the validation of a new two-component multi-scale cell model we developed recently that treats the lipid bilayer and the cytoskeleton as two distinct components. Here, the whole cell model is validated and compared against several available experiments that examine red blood cell (RBC) mechanics, rheology and dynamics. First, we investigated RBC deformabilit...
