Examples of multiscale and multiphysics numerical modeling of biological tissues

Predictive theoretical-numerical modeling of the behavior and evolution of biological tissue is a difficult task since many of the required knowledge tools (experimental, theoretical and numerical) are still not well understood. We present here some methodologies and results specific to multiscale and multiphysics numerical modeling of biological tissues applied to the predictive behavior of cortical veins depending on their local constituents' microstructure and for bone remodeling and reconstruction as a function of the local mechanobiology. Although further work is required to improve the accuracy of the developed models, the proposed approaches highlight their potential usefulness for understanding the mechanical-biological couplings, short and long term predictions of biological evolutions as well as possible further transfer to medical applications.
