The continuum mechanical treatment of biological growth and remodeling has attracted
considerable attention over the past fifteen years. Many aspects of these problems are now …

Mechanical forces are essential contributors to and unavoidable components of cardiac
formation, both inducing and orchestrating local and global molecular and cellular changes …

This monograph presents a general mathematical theory for biological growth. It provides
both a conceptual and a technical foundation for the understanding and analysis of …

Many biological tissues exhibit a non-standard continuum mechanics behavior: they are
able to modify their placement in absence of external loads. The activity of the muscles is …

The shape of an organism relies on a complex network of genetic regulations and on the
homeostasis and distribution of growth factors. In parallel to the molecular control of growth …

Collections of cells must be patterned spatially during embryonic development to generate
the intricate architectures of mature tissues. In several cases, including the formation of the …

In the developing embryo, tissues differentiate, deform, and move in an orchestrated manner
to generate various biological shapes driven by the complex interplay between genetic …

In the past years, many attempts have been made in order to model the process of bone
remodeling. This process is complex, as it is governed by not yet completely understood …

We develop a model of wound healing in the framework of finite elasticity, focussing our
attention on the processes of growth and contraction in the dermal layer of the skin. The …

In multi-cellular organisms, morphogenesis translates processes at the cellular scale into
tissue deformation at the scale of organs and organisms. To understand how biochemical …
