Living systems are chiral on multiple scales, from constituent biopolymers to large scale morphology, and their active mechanics is both driven by chiral components and serves to generate chiral morphologies. We describe the mechanics of…

Chronic diseases can greatly benefit from bioelectronic medicine approaches. Neuromorphic electronic circuits present ideal characteristics for the development of brain-inspired low-power implantable processing systems that can be…

This work is dedicated to the simulation of full cycles of the electrical activity of the heart and the corresponding body surface potential. The model is based on a realistic torso and heart anatomy, including ventricles and atria. One of…

Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling is central to a wide variety of healthy and diseased tissue processes. Unfortunately, predicting ECM remodeling under various chemical and mechanical conditions has proven to be excessively challenging,…

Linearization around unstable travelling waves in excitable systems can be used to approximate strength-extent curves in the problem of initiation of excitation waves for a family of spatially confined perturbations to the rest state. This…

In this paper, we study pairs of oscillators that are indirectly coupled via active (excitable) cells. We introduce a scalar phase model for coupled oscillators and excitable cells. We first show that one excitable and one oscillatory cell…

The development of tissue-engineered cardiovascular implants can improve the lives of large segments of our society who suffer from cardiovascular diseases. Regenerative tissues are fabricated using a process called tissue maturation.…

Excitations of MHz acoustic modes are studied numerically in 10-um-thick silicon disk membranes with a radius of 100 and 500 um actuated by an attached 1-um-thick (AlSc)N thin-film transducer. It is shown how higher-harmonic membrane modes…

This study aims at finding a method for constructing molecular dynamics like models using the formalism of cellular automata for fast simulation of fluid dynamic systems (including compressible phenomena). In as much as the results…

Using the FitzHugh-Nagumo equations to represent the oscillatory electrical behavior of beta-cells, we develop a coupled oscillator network model with cubic lattice topology, showing that the emergence of pacemakers or hubs in the system…

Precision cardiology based on cardiac digital twins requires accurate simulations of cardiac arrhythmias. However, detailed models, such as the monodomain model, are computationally costly and have limited applicability in practice. Thus,…

This paper presents a nonlinear reaction-diffusion-fluid system that simulates radiofrequency ablation within cardiac tissue. The model conveys the dynamic evolution of temperature and electric potential in both the fluid and solid regions,…

Here we describe an "information based exchange" model of brain function that ascribes to neocortex, basal ganglia, and thalamus distinct network functions. The model allows us to analyze whole brain system set point measures, such as the…

In this paper, phase field models are developed for multi-component vesicle membranes with different lipid compositions and membranes with free boundary. These models are used to simulate the deformation of membranes under the elastic…

We introduce a model for describing the dynamics of large numbers of interacting cells. The fundamental dynamical variables in the model are sub-cellular elements, which interact with each other through phenomenological intra- and…

Computing excitation spectra of quantum many-body systems is a promising avenue to demonstrate the practical utility of current noisy quantum devices, especially as we move toward the ``megaquop'' regime. For this task, here we introduce a…

Biologically driven non-equilibrium fluctuations are often characterized by their non-Gaussianity or by an "effective temperature", which is frequency dependent and higher than the ambient temperature. We address these two measures…

In this paper we introduce a new mathematical model for the active contraction of cardiac muscle, featuring different thermo-electric and nonlinear conductivity properties. The passive hyperelastic response of the tissue is described by an…

The plasma membrane of human red blood cells consists of a lipid bilayer attached to a regular network of underlying cytoskeletal polymers. We model this system at a dynamic coarse-grained level, treating the bilayer as an elastic sheet and…

Motivated by recent experiments on intracellular calcium dynamics, we study the general issue of fluctuation-induced nucleation of waves in excitable media. We utilize a stochastic Fitzhugh-Nagumo model for this study, a spatially-extended…
