An Efficient Constant-Coefficient MSAV Scheme for Computing Vesicle Growth and Shrinkage
Zhiwei Zhang, Shuwang Li, John Lowengrub +1
We present a fast, unconditionally energy-stable numerical scheme for simulating vesicle deformation under osmotic pressure using a phase-field approach. The model couples an Allen…

Membrane Heterogeneity Driven Dynamics of Multicomponent Vesicles in Shear Flow
Shuqi Tang, Steven M. Wise, John Lowengrub +1
Despite their significance in biology and materials science, the dynamics of multicomponent vesicles under shear flow remain poorly understood because of their nonlinear and strong…

Chemomechanical regulation of growing tissues from a thermodynamically-consistent framework and its application to tumor spheroid growth
Nonthakorn Olaranont, Chaozhen Wei, John Lowengrub +1
It is widely recognized that reciprocal interactions between cells and their microenvironment, via mechanical forces and biochemical signaling pathways, regulate cell behaviors dur…
