The role of topology and mechanics in uniaxially growing cell networks
Alexander Erlich, Gareth W. Jones, Françoise Tisseur +2
In biological systems, the growth of cells, tissues, and organs is influenced by mechanical cues. Locally, cell growth leads to a mechanically heterogeneous environment as cells pu…
Quantifying the impact of tissue metabolism on solute transport in feto-placental microvascular networks
Alexander Erlich, Gareth A. Nye, Paul Brownbill +2
The primary exchange units in the human placenta are terminal villi, in which fetal capillary networks are surrounded by a thin layer of villous tissue, separating fetal from mater…
Physical and geometric determinants of transport in feto-placental microvascular networks
Alexander Erlich, Philip Pearce, Romina Plitman Mayo +2
Across mammalian species, solute exchange takes place in complex microvascular networks. In the human placenta, the primary exchange units are terminal villi that contain disordere…
Are homeostatic states stable? Dynamical stability in morphoelasticity
Alexander Erlich, Derek E. Moulton, Alain Goriely
Biological growth is often driven by mechanical cues, such as changes in external pressure or tensile loading. Moreover, it is well known that many living tissues actively maintain…
