Multiscale Biomedical Modeling
1984 - 2007
The period witnessed a maturation of multiscale Biomedical Modeling by integrating continuum, discrete, and biophysical approaches to connect cellular processes with organ-level behavior. Cardiac electrophysiology benefited from bidomain and finite-difference frameworks, while tumor biology featured hybrid two-phase or chemo-mechanical models that captured avascular growth, angiogenesis, and invasion under intertwined nutrient, mechanical, and remodeling dynamics. Mechanistic tissue modeling expanded to brain barriers and transport using topology-inspired descriptors and nonlinear elasticity for soft-tissue growth and remodeling.
• Continuum-level electrical tissue modeling links cellular activity to organ-scale potentials using bidomain and finite-difference frameworks; foundational work includes bidomain simulations of cardiac tissue and 3D depolarization/repolarization models [1], [19], [12].
• Mathematical oncology patterns converge on two-phase/mixture and PDE approaches to capture avascular tumor growth, angiogenesis, capillary formation, and invasion, integrating nutrient dynamics, mechanical stresses, and tissue remodeling across scales [2], [3], [4], [6], [8], [9], [17], [18], [7].
• Discrete and stochastic cell-based methods (Potts model, cellular automata, Monte Carlo) complement continuum models by simulating cell adhesion, motility, and local interactions to reproduce invasion patterns and tumor heterogeneity [5], [20], [14], [7], [13].
• Biophysical modeling of brain barriers and molecular transport leverages topological descriptors and the electrotopological state to predict BBB permeation and partitioning [10], [11].
• Mechanics-oriented tissue modeling uses constrained mixture theory and nonlinear elasticity to capture growth, remodeling, and large-deformation behavior of soft tissues in medical simulation [16], [15].
