Creator | Manoussaki, D. | en |
Content Summary | The formation of blood vessels is driven by chemical and mechanical interactions between
the cells and their extracellular matrix. New vasculature can emerge in the presence of angiogenic
factors or as a result of cell traction forces onto the extracellular matrix. The respective contribution
of chemical or mechanical events during angiogenesis is still unclear.
We present a mathematical model that incorporates such interactions and examine the conditions
necessary for the formation of pattern. The model treats the extracellular matrix as a linear viscoelastic
material and cellular movement either as a process influenced by the local strain field or as a chemotactic
movement, in response to chemical gradients. | en |
