The investigation of the role of mechanical and mechano-chemical
interactions in cellular processes and tissue development is a
rapidly growing research field in the life sciences and in
biomedical engineering. Quantitative understanding of this
important area in the study of biological systems requires the
development of adequate mathematical models for the simulation of
the evolution of these systems in space and time. Since expertise
in various fields is necessary, this calls for a multidisciplinary
approach. This edited volume connects basic physical, biological,
and physiological concepts to methods for the mathematical modeling
of various materials by pursuing a multiscale approach, from
subcellular to organ and system level. Written by active
researchers, each chapter provides a detailed introduction to a
given field, illustrates various approaches to creating models, and
explores recent advances and future research perspectives. Topics
covered include molecular dynamics simulations of lipid membranes,
phenomenological continuum mechanics of tissue growth, and
translational cardiovascular modeling. Modeling Biomaterials will
be a valuable resource for both non-specialists and experienced
researchers from various domains of science, such as applied
mathematics, biophysics, computational physiology, and medicine.
