Journal ArticleDOI
Morphogenesis of thin hyperelastic plates: A constitutive theory of biological growth in the Föppl-von Kármán limit
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have studied the growth of thin hyperelastic samples and showed that the corresponding equilibrium equations are of the Foppl-von Karman type where growth acts as a source of mean and Gaussian curvatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling and Experimental Validation of the Locomotion of Endoscopic Robots in the Colon
TL;DR: A biomechanical study to evaluate the efficiency of the motion of endoscopic robots in the colon, with a special focus on “inchworm” locomotion, and provided the guidelines to design a high-stroke pneumatic robotic prototype for colonoscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pattern selection in growing tubular tissues.
TL;DR: The results suggest that physical forces act as regulators during organogenesis and give rise to the characteristic circular folds in the esophagus, the longitudinal fold in the valves of Kerckring, the surface networks in villi, and the crypts in the large intestine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Swelling instability of surface-attached gels as a model of soft tissue growth under geometric constraints
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a theoretical analysis of the growth of soft materials under geometrical constraints, focusing on the swelling of a gel layer clamped to a substrate, which is still the subject of many experimental tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
The radial growth phase of malignant melanoma: multi-phase modelling, numerical simulations and linear stability analysis
TL;DR: Numerical simulations demonstrate that the loss of adhesiveness of the melanoma cells both to the basal laminae and to adjacent keratynocytes, consequent to a downregulation of E-cadherin, are the fundamental biomechanical features for promoting tumour initiation.
