Biphasic modeling of brain tumor biomechanics and response to radiation treatment
(2016)Biomechanical forces are central in tumor progression and response to treatment. This becomes more important in brain cancers where tumors are surrounded by tissues with different mechanical properties. Existing mathematical ...

Cell adhesion and matrix stiffness: Coordinating cancer cell invasion and metastasis
(2018)Metastasis is a multistep process in which tumor extracellular matrix (ECM) and cancer cell cytoskeleton interactions are pivotal. ECM is connected, through integrins, to the cell's adhesome at cell-ECM adhesion sites and ...

Delivery of molecular and nanoscale medicine to tumors: Transport barriers and strategies
(2011)Tumors are similar to organs, with unique physiology giving rise to an unusual set of transport barriers to drug delivery. Cancer therapy is limited by nonuniform drug delivery via blood vessels, inhomogeneous drug transport ...

Experimental measurements and mathematical modeling towards quantification of brain swelling stress
(2017)Traumatic brain injury results in brain tissue swelling which can be a life threatening condition due to skull confinement. While previous efforts successfully measured the exhibited volume change in brain tissue swelling, ...
