Discrete mechanical growth model for plant tissue. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 We present a discrete mechanical model to study plant development. The method is built up of mass points, springs and hinges mimicking the plant cell wall's microstructure. To model plastic growth the resting lengths of springs are adjusted; when springs

Mechanical forces of beating heart suppress cancer growth [PDF]
Mechanobiology in MedicineThe cardiac vasculature is characterized by high pressure, high blood flow, and dense vascular branching, which may increase its exposure to circulating tumor cells (CTCs). However, both primary cardiac tumors and metastases are remarkably rare.

Mechanical load regulates bone growth via periosteal Osteocrin
Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: Mechanical stimuli including loading after birth promote bone growth. However, little is known about how mechanical force triggers biochemical signals to regulate bone growth. Here, we identified a periosteal-osteoblast-derived secretory peptide,

Mechanics of cell growth [PDF]
Mechanics Research Communications, 2012 Cell growth describes an essential feature of biological tissues. This growth process may be modeled by using a set of relatively simple governing equations based on the axioms of mass and momentum balance, and using a continuum framework that describes cells and tissues as mixtures of a solid matrix, a solvent and multiple solutes.

Mechanical coupling coordinates microtubule growth
eLife, 2023 During mitosis, kinetochore-attached microtubules form bundles (k-fibers) in which many filaments grow and shorten in near-perfect unison to align and segregate each chromosome. However, individual microtubules grow at intrinsically variable rates, which
