Fungi develop structures that interact with their surroundings and evolve adaptively in the presence of geometrical constraints, finding optimal solutions for complex combinatorial problems. The pathogenic fungus Ophiocordyceps constitutes ...
Characterizing poroelasticity of biological tissues by spherical indentation: an improved theory for large relaxation [0.03%]
球形压入法表征生物组织的孔隙弹性：大松弛区理论改进

Ming Wang et al.
Flow of fluids within biological tissues often meets with resistance that causes a rate- and size-dependent material behavior known as poroelasticity. Characterizing poroelasticity can provide insight into a broad range of physiological fun...
Mechanobiology predicts raft formations triggered by ligand-receptor activity across the cell membrane [0.03%]

Clustering of ligand-binding receptors of different types on thickened isles of the cell membrane, namely lipid rafts, is an experimentally observed phenomenon. Although its influence on cell's response is deeply investigated, the role of t...
A Coupled Mass Transport and Deformation Theory of Multi-constituent Tumor Growth [0.03%]

Dynamic networks are found in a majority of natural materials, but also in engineering materials, such as entangled polymers and physically cross-linked gels. Owing to their transient bond dynamics, these networks display a rich class of be...

Like all other materials, biological soft tissues are subject to general laws of physics, including those governing mechanical equilibrium and stability. In addition, however, these tissues are able to respond actively to changes in their m...

We argue in favor of representing living cells as automata and review demonstrations that autonomous cells can form patterns by responding to local variations in the strain fields that arise from their individual or collective motions. An a...

An inverse method is presented for estimating shear stress in the work material in the region of chip-tool contact along the rake face of the tool during orthogonal machining. The method is motivated by a model of heat generation in the chi...
The equivalent medium of cellular substrate under large stretching, with applications to stretchable electronics [0.03%]
拉伸条件下细胞承载基底的有效模型及其在可拉伸电子学中的应用
Hang Chen,Feng Zhu,Kyung-In Jang et al.
Hang Chen et al.
The concepts of open, cellular substrates for stretchable electronic systems are of interest partly due to their ability to minimize disruptions to the natural diffusive or convective flow of bio-fluids in advanced, bio-integrated implants....
