A biologically derived approach to tissue modeling.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our approach to tissue modeling incorporates biologically derived primitives into a computational engine (CellSim) coupled with a genetic search algorithm. By expanding an evolved synthetic genome CellSim is capable of developing a virtual tissue with higher order properties. Using primitives based on cell signaling, gene networks, cell division, growth, and death, we have encoded a 64-cell cube-shaped tissue with emergent capacity to repair itself when up to 60% of its cells are destroyed. Other tissue shapes such as sheets of cells also repair themselves. Capacity for self-repair is an emergent property derived from, but not specified by, the rule sets used to generate these virtual tissues.

Reinforcement of a decellularized extracellular matrix-derived hydrogel using nanofibers for cardiac tissue engineering
The role of heart disease in increasing worldwide death and the limited availability of organs for transplantation have encouraged multiple strategies to fabricate functional and implantable constructs. One of these strategies is to develop a biologically similar heart tissue scaffold, in which two types of fiber and hydrogel are commonly used. Toward this goal, taking advantage of both hydroge...

In this paper, we propose and analyze a mathematical model describing the effect of awareness programs by public media on the prevalence of Typhoid fever. A threshold quantity $R_{0}$, similar to the basic reproduction number is derived. We investigate the biologically meaningful equilibrium points and their local stability analysis. The global stability analysis has been performed with respect...
