Mechano-sensing has profound effects on cellular behaviour, including motility. The current study aims to develop a mathematical model of cellular mechano-sensing on planar elastic substrates and demonstrate the model’s predictive capabilities for the motility of individual cells in a colony. In the model, a cell is assumed to transmit an adhesion force, derived from a dynamic focal adhesion integrin density, that locally deforms a substrate, and to sense substrate deformation originating from neighbouring cells. The substrate deformation from multiple cells is expressed as total strain energy density with a spatially varying gradient. The magnitude and direction of the gradient at the cell location define the cell motion. Cell–substrate friction, partial motion randomness, and cell death and division are included. The substrate deformation by a single cell and the motility of two cells are presented for several substrate elasticities and thicknesses. The collective motility of 25 cells on a uniform substrate mimicking the closure of a circular wound of 200 µm is predicted for deterministic and random motion. Cell motility on substrates with varying elasticity and thickness is explored for four cells and 15 cells, the latter again mimicking wound closure. Wound closure by 45 cells is used to demonstrate the simulation of cell death and division during migration. The mathematical model can adequately simulate the mechanically induced collective cell motility on planar elastic substrates. The model is suitable for extension to other cell and substrates shapes and the inclusion of chemotactic cues, offering the potential to complement in vitro and in vivo studies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":489,"journal":{"name":"Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology","volume":"22 3","pages":"809 - 824"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10237-022-01682-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4893376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rapid diagnosis of infection reduces BSI mortality. We proposed bacterial enrichment and separation approach in the current work that may reduce culturing time and accelerate the diagnosis of infection. Over the last two decades, multiple separation methods have been developed, and among these methods, insulator-based dielectrophoresis (iDEP) is considered a powerful technique for separating biological particles. Bacterial separation in the blood is challenging due to the presence of other blood cells, such as white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. In the present study, a model is presented which is capable of blood cells separation and directing each cell to a specific outlet using continuous flows of particles with sizes larger than 8 µm, 8–4 µm, and smaller than 4 µm. Compared to other methods, such as filtration, the main advantage of this model is that particles larger than 8 µm are separated from the flow before other particles, which prevents the accumulation of particles in the channel. The outcomes of simulations demonstrated that the factors such as applied voltage and channel dimensions significantly affect the separation efficiency. If these values are properly selected (for example voltage of 70 V that was causing an electric field of 200 V/cm), the proposed model can completely (100%) separate particles larger than 8 µm and smaller than 4 µm (8–4 µm particles separation efficiency is 95%).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":489,"journal":{"name":"Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology","volume":"22 3","pages":"825 - 836"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4569531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study proposes a new fluid–structure interaction (FSI) co-modeling framework for the hemodynamic-structural analysis of compliant aortic valves. Toward that goal, two commercial software packages are integrated using the lattice Boltzmann (LBM) and finite element (FE) methods. The suitability of the LBM-FE hemodynamic FSI is examined in modeling healthy tricuspid and bicuspid aortic valves (TAV and BAV), respectively. In addition, a multi-scale structural approach that has been employed explicitly recognizes the heterogeneous leaflet tissues and differentiates between the collagen fiber network (CFN) embedded within the elastin matrix of the leaflets. The CFN multi-scale tissue model is inspired by monitoring the distribution of the collagen in 15 porcine leaflets. Different simulations have been examined, and structural stresses and resulting hemodynamics are analyzed. We found that LBM-FE FSI approach can produce good predictions for the flow and structural behaviors of TAV and BAV and correlates well with those reported in the literature. The multi-scale heterogeneous CFN tissue structural model enhances our understanding of the mechanical roles of the CFN and the elastin matrix behaviors. The importance of LBM-FE FSI also emerges in its ability to resolve local hemodynamic and structural behaviors. In particular, the diastolic fluctuating velocity phenomenon near the leaflets is explicitly predicted, providing vital information on the flow transient nature. The full closure of the contacting leaflets in BAV is also demonstrated. Accordingly, good structural kinematics and deformations are captured for the entire cardiac cycle.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":489,"journal":{"name":"Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology","volume":"22 3","pages":"837 - 850"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4418263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the second, anisotropic parameters are estimated using piece-wise (Finite element-based) VFM. The resulting values showed significant differences between the subjects in comparative study of leukemia survivors, and variance in estimated parameters by two different VFM approach.

In this paper, a phenomenological, bilinear, force-strain model is derived to accurately reproduce the fibrin fiber force-strain curve, and then, the phenomenological model is converted to a mechanistic model using empirical relationships developed from particle simulation data. The mechanistic model assumes that the initial linear fibrin fiber force-strain response is due to entropic extension of polypeptide chains, and the final linear response is due to enthalpic extension of protofibrils. This model is the first fibrin fiber tensile force-strain equation to simultaneously (1) reproduce the bilinear force-strain curve of fibrin fibers in tension; (2) explicitly include the number of protofibrils through the fibrin fiber cross section, persistence length of <span>(mathrm{alpha C})</span>-regions, and stiffness of fibrin protofibrils; and (3) make demonstrably reasonable/accurate predictions of fibrin fiber mechanics when tempered against experimental results. The model predicted that the count of protofibrils through the cross section for the analyzed fibrin fibers is between 207 and 421, the persistence length of <span>(alpha C)</span>-regions is <span>(sim 0.36 mathrm{nm})</span>, and the stiffness of protofibrils in a deforming fiber is <span>(sim 1.34 nN/mathrm{strain})</span>.

Our analysis supports the proposition that entropic extension of <span>(alpha C)</span>-regions could be responsible for fibrin fiber’s initial force-strain stiffness and suggests a structural change in fibrin protofibrils during fibrin fiber deformation. The results from the model are compared to those from five candidate deformation mechanisms reported in the literature.
