Cell migration is a fundamental mechanism in biology, including cancer or embryogenesis. Actin turnover plays a fundamental role in cell motility and it acts as an engine for the affective motion of motile cells by means ...

Aquest treball documenta una implementació d'un model de reorientació de fibres, o remodelació, a partir d'un material hiperelàstic anisòtrop. Es consideren dos models per a la deformació mecànica de les fibres: exponencial ...

The brain is one of the most exciting and unknown entities in nature. During development the brain folds towards a highly convoluted form. The topological features of the brain are also related to the deformation of the ...

Actin turnover plays a fundamental role in cell motility, cancer or embryogenesis. The actin flow acts as an engine for the affective motion of motile cells by means of protrusive and retractile mechanisms conditioned also ...

As the era of frequent human space travel nears, it becomes imperative to understand the brain’s reaction to microgravity conditions. This research delves into the intricate mechanics of brain tissue, focusing specifically ...

It is now widely accepted that cells are mechanically integrated structures which dynamically respond to mechanical cues. Tumours are no exception to that rule but still little is known on how this mechano-transduction is ...

Given the relevance of cardiac maladies in today's society, investigation driven towards the understanding of how our hearts work has been gaining importance. In this bachelor degree thesis we approach the matter by giving ...

A majority of studies on the brain are focused at either the molecular level or organ level. Rarely do we see models that attempt to relate neuronal behaviors to symptoms of traumatic brain injury. Well-documented studies ...
