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 ...

Evolution of osmotic pressure in solid tumors
(2014)The mechanical microenvironment of solid tumors includes both fluid and solid stresses. These stresses play a crucial role in cancer progression and treatment and have been analyzed rigorously both mathematically and ...

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, ...

The Solid Mechanics of Cancer and Strategies for Improved Therapy
(2017)Tumor progression and response to treatment is determined in large part by the generation of mechanical stresses that stem from both the solid and the fluid phase of the tumor. Furthermore, elevated solid stress levels can ...
