Finite element analysis of biological soft tissue surrounded by a deformable membrane that controls transmembrane flow
Many biological soft tissues are hydrated porous hyperelastic materials, which consist of a complex solid skeleton with fine voids and fluid filling these voids. Mechanical interactions between the solid and t... (Source: Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling)

A conceptual model for optimizing vaccine coverage to reduce vector-borne infections in the presence of antibody-dependent enhancement
Many vector-borne diseases co-circulate, as the viruses from the same family are also transmitted by the same vector species. For example, Zika and dengue viruses belong to the same Flavivirus family and are prim... (Source: Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling)

Application of Bayesian evidence synthesis to modelling the effect of ketogenic therapy on survival of high grade glioma patients
Ketogenic therapy in the form of ketogenic diets or calorie restriction has been proposed as a metabolic treatment of high grade glioma (HGG) brain tumors based on mechanistic reasoning obtained mainly from an... (Source: Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling)
