Improving blood vessel tortuosity measurements via highly sampled numerical integration of the Frenet-Serret equations
Alexander Brummer, David Hunt, Van Savage
Measures of vascular tortuosity--how curved and twisted a vessel is--are associated with a variety of vascular diseases. Consequently, measurements of vessel tortuosity that are ac…
Branching principles of animal and plant networks identified by combining extensive data, machine learning, and modeling
Alexander B Brummer, Panagiotis Lymperopoulos, Jocelyn Shen +7
Branching in vascular networks and in overall organismic form is one of the most common and ancient features of multicellular plants, fungi, and animals. By combining machine-learn…
Optimal occlusion uniformly partitions red blood cells fluxes within a microvascular network
Shyr-Shea Chang, Shenyinying Tu, Kyung In Baek +6
In animals, gas exchange between blood and tissues occurs in narrow vessels, whose diameter is comparable to that of a red blood cell. Red blood cells must deform to squeeze throug…
Testing Foundations of Biological Scaling Theory Using Automated Measurements of Vascular Networks
Mitchell G Newberry, Daniel B Ennis, Van M Savage
Scientists have long sought to understand how vascular networks supply blood and oxygen to cells throughout the body. Recent work focuses on principles that constrain how vessel si…
Asymmetries arising from the space-filling nature of vascular networks
David Hunt, Van M. Savage
Cardiovascular networks span the body by branching across many generations of vessels. The resulting structure delivers blood over long distances to supply all cells with oxygen vi…
Scaling from traits to ecosystems: Developing a general Trait Driver Theory via integrating trait-based and metabolic scaling theories
Brian J. Enquist, Jon Norberg, Stephen P. Bonser +5
The rise of trait-based ecology has led to an increased focus on the distribution and dynamics of traits in communities. However, a general theory of trait-based ecology, that can…
