An in-silico Investigation Into the Role of Strain and Structure on Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Growth

The orientation of vascular cells can greatly influence the in vivo mechanical properties and functionality of soft vascular tissues. How cell orientation mediates the growth response of cells is of critical importance in understanding the response of soft tissues to mechanical stimuli or injury. To...
