This study models age-related tortuosity in human cerebral arteries as growth-driven mechanical buckling under spatial constraints, supported by imaging data from MRI.

The paper distinguishes between buckling and angiogenesis in blood vessel tortuosity using spectral analysis of vessel morphology.

This study standardizes box-counting fractal dimension measurements of cranial sutures and shows that six of eight model variants can generate fractal-like patterns with FD values comparable to real sutures.

The paper refines a reaction-diffusion model to study segmented wavetrains in mouse seminiferous tubules, finding they are stable, directionally unbiased, and influenced by tubule elongation.

This study investigates the mechanisms regulating lung airway branching structure through experiments and computational modeling, finding that curvature-dependent growth and cell shape control determine branch length and width.

The paper develops a mathematical model with noise to explain fractal patterns in skull sutures, showing scaling laws both theoretically and experimentally.

This study quantifies size distributions in retinal vasculature and shows how theoretical models can reproduce these patterns using remodeling mechanisms.
