ABSTRACT

Abstract Growth and remodeling (G&R) of biological tissues is an inherently multiscale and multiphysics process. In the past two decades, computational models of G&R have been developed to improve our fundamental understanding of how tissues adapt to mechanical cues. Models focused on tissue mechanics have successfully captured G&R of tissues but lacking a detailed description of the biological control at the cell level. In contrast, systems biology models of mechanotransduction and cellular processes associated to G&R events have been developed often without coupling to the tissue mechanical behavior at multiple scales. Here, we review novel approaches to fuse the systems biology approach to cell mechanobiology with the continuum mechanics descriptions of G&R.
