Understanding the mechanics of growth: A large deformation theory for coupled swelling-growth and morphogenesis of soft biological systems
Understanding the growth of soft biological systems is crucial in a wide range of applications with extensive societal consequences, such as plastic and reconstructive surgery, curbing the growth of tumors and bacterial colonies, tissue engineering of functional vascular grafts, etc. Solid tumors ac...
