A phase-field model for viscoelastic compressible tumor growth
Luise Zieger, Min Wu, Chaozhen Wei +2
It is well known that growing tumors generate and respond to stress in their local microenvironment. Tissue re-arrangements can relax these mechanical stresses and make the tissue…

Inferring Exocytosis Profiles from Cell Shapes Using a Dual-Configuration Model of Walled Cell Tip Growth
Kamryn Spinelli, Chaozhen Wei, Luis Vidali +1
Tip growth in filamentous cells, such as root hairs, moss protonemata, and fungal hyphae, depends on coordinated cell wall extension driven by turgor pressure, wall mechanics, and…

Simulating Irregular Symmetry Breaking in Gut Cross Sections Using a Novel Energy-Optimization Approach in Growth-Elasticity
Min Wu
Growth-elasticity is a powerful model framework for understanding complex shape development in soft biological tissues. At each instant, by mapping how continuum building blocks ha…
