abstract = {This work highlights an approach for incorporating realistic uncertainties into scientific computing workflows based on finite elements, focusing on applications in computational mechanics and design optimization. We leverage Matérn-type Gaussian random fields (GRFs) generated using the SPDE method to model aleatoric uncertainties, including environmental influences, variating material properties, and geometric ambiguities. Our focus lies on delivering practical GRF realizations that accurately capture imperfections and variations and understanding how they impact the predictions of computational models and the topology of optimized designs. We describe a numerical algorithm based on solving a generalized SPDE to sample GRFs on arbitrary meshed domains. The algorithm leverages established techniques and integrates seamlessly with the open-source finite element library MFEM and associated scientific computing workflows, like those found in industrial and national laboratory settings. Our solver scales efficiently for large-scale problems and supports various domain types, including surfaces and embedded manifolds. We showcase its versatility through biomechanics and topology optimization applications. The flexibility and efficiency of SPDE-based GRF generation empower us to run large-scale optimization problems on 2D and 3D domains, including finding optimized designs on embedded surfaces, and to generate topologies beyond the reach of conventional techniques. Moreover, these capabilities allow us to model geometric uncertainties of reconstructed submanifolds, such as the surfaces of cerebral aneurysms. In addition to offering benefits in these specific domains, the proposed techniques transcend specific applications and generalize to arbitrary forward and backward problems in uncertainty quantification involving finite elements.},

abstract = {Electrical stimulation is a fundamental tool in studying neural circuits, treating neurological diseases, and advancing regenerative medicine. Injectable, free-standing piezoelectric particle systems have emerged as non-genetic and wireless alternatives for electrode-based tethered stimulation systems. However, achieving cell-specific and high-frequency piezoelectric neural stimulation remains challenging due to high-intensity thresholds, non-specific diffusion, and internalization of particles. Here, we develop cell-sized 20 μm-diameter silica-based piezoelectric magnetic Janus microparticles (PEMPs), enabling clinically-relevant high-frequency neural stimulation of primary neurons under low-intensity focused ultrasound. Owing to its functionally anisotropic design, half of the PEMP acts as a piezoelectric electrode via conjugated barium titanate nanoparticles to induce electrical stimulation, while the nickel-gold nanofilm-coated magnetic half provides spatial and orientational control on neural stimulation via external uniform rotating magnetic fields. Furthermore, surface functionalization with targeting antibodies enables cell-specific binding/targeting and stimulation of dopaminergic neurons. Taking advantage of such functionalities, the PEMP design offers unique features towards wireless neural stimulation for minimally invasive treatment of neurological diseases.},

abstract = {Metabolic zonation refers to the spatial separation of metabolic functions along the sinusoidal axes of the liver. This phenomenon forms the foundation for adjusting hepatic metabolism to physiological requirements in health and disease (e.g., metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease/MASLD). Zonated metabolic functions are influenced by zonal morphological abnormalities in the liver, such as periportal fibrosis and pericentral steatosis. We aim to analyze the interplay between microperfusion, oxygen gradient, fat metabolism and resulting zonated fat accumulation in a liver lobule. Therefore we developed a continuum biomechanical, tri-phasic, bi-scale, and multicomponent in silico model, which allows to numerically simulate coupled perfusion-function-growth interactions two-dimensionally in liver lobules. The developed homogenized model has the following specifications: (i) thermodynamically consistent, (ii) tri-phase model (tissue, fat, blood), (iii) penta-substances (glycogen, glucose, lactate, FFA, and oxygen), and (iv) bi-scale approach (lobule, cell). Our presented in silico model accounts for the mutual coupling between spatial and time-dependent liver perfusion, metabolic pathways and fat accumulation. The model thus allows the prediction of fat development in the liver lobule, depending on perfusion, oxygen and plasma concentration of free fatty acids (FFA), oxidative processes, the synthesis and the secretion of triglycerides (TGs). The use of a bi-scale approach allows in addition to focus on scale bridging processes. Thus, we will investigate how changes at the cellular scale affect perfusion at the lobular scale and vice versa. This allows to predict the zonation of fat distribution (periportal or pericentral) depending on initial conditions, as well as external and internal boundary value conditions.},

abstract = {All digital objects that result from the modeling and simulation field are valid sets of research data. In general, research data are the result of intense intellectual activity that is worth communicating. This communication is an essential research practice that, whether with the aim of understanding, critiquing or further developing results, smoothly leads to collaboration, which not only involves discussions, and sharing institutional resources, but also the sharing of data and information at several stages of the research process. Data sharing is intended to improve and facilitate collaboration but quickly introduces challenges like reproducibility, reusability, interoperability, and standardization. These challenges are deeply rooted in an apparent reproducibility standard, about which there is a debate worth considering before emphasizing how the modeling and simulation workflow commonly occurs. Although that workflow is almost natural for practitioners, the sharing practices still require special attention because the principles (known as FAIR principles) that guide research practices towards data sharing also guide the requirements for machine actionable results. The FAIR principles, however, do not address the actual implementation of the data sharing process. This implementation requires careful consideration of characteristics of the sharing platforms for benefiting the most of the data sharing activity. This article serves as an invitation to integrate data sharing practices into the established routines of researchers and elaborates on the perspectives, and guidelines surrounding data sharing implementation.},

abstract = {Endovascular coil embolization is one of the primary treatment techniques for cerebral aneurysms. Although it is a well established and minimally invasive method, it bears the risk of sub-optimal coil placement which can lead to incomplete occlusion of the aneurysm possibly causing recurrence. One of the key features of coils is that they have an imprinted natural shape supporting the fixation within the aneurysm. For the spatial discretization our mathematical coil model is based on the Discrete Elastic Rod model which results in a dimension-reduced 1D system of differential equations. We include bending and twisting responses to account for the coils natural curvature. Collisions between coil segments and the aneurysm-wall are handled by an efficient contact algorithm that relies on an octree based collision detection. The numerical solution of the model is obtained by a symplectic semi-implicit Euler time stepping method. Our model can be easily incorporated into blood flow simulations of embolized aneurysms. In order to differentiate optimal from sub-optimal placements, we employ a suitable in silico Raymond-Roy type occlusion classification and measure the local packing density in the aneurysm at its neck, wall-region and core. We investigate the impact of uncertainties in the coil parameters and embolization procedure. To this end, we vary the position and the angle of insertion of the microcatheter, and approximate the local packing density distributions by evaluating sample statistics.},

abstract = {Predicting the long-term success of endovascular interventions in the clinical management of cerebral aneurysms requires detailed insight into the patient-specific physiological conditions. In this work, we not only propose numerical representations of endovascular medical devices such as coils, flow diverters or Woven EndoBridge but also outline numerical models for the prediction of blood flow patterns in the aneurysm cavity right after a surgical intervention. Detailed knowledge about the post-surgical state then lays the basis to assess the chances of a stable occlusion of the aneurysm required for a long-term treatment success. To this end, we propose mathematical and mechanical models of endovascular medical devices made out of thin metal wires. These can then be used for fully resolved flow simulations of the post-surgical blood flow, which in this work will be performed by means of a Lattice Boltzmann method applied to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and patient-specific geometries. To probe the suitability of homogenized models, we also investigate poro-elastic models to represent such medical devices. In particular, we examine the validity of this modeling approach for flow diverter placement across the opening of the aneurysm cavity. For both approaches, physiologically meaningful boundary conditions are provided from reduced-order models of the vascular system. The present study demonstrates our capabilities to predict the post-surgical state and lays a solid foundation to tackle the prediction of thrombus formation and, thus, the aneurysm occlusion in a next step.},

abstract = {The SIMulation supported LIVer Assessment for donor organs (SimLivA) project aims to develop a mathematical model to accurately simulate the influence of mechanical alterations in marginal liver grafts (specifically steatotic ones) and cold ischemia on early ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) during liver transplantation. Our project tackles significant research challenges, including the co-development of computational methodologies, experimental studies, clinical processes, and technical workflows. We aim to refine a continuum-biomechanical model for enhanced IRI prediction, collect pivotal experimental and clinical data, and assess the clinical applicability of our model. Our efforts involve augmenting and tailoring a coupled continuum-biomechanical, multiphase, and multi-scale partial differential equation-ordinary differential equation (PDE-ODE) model of the liver lobule, allowing us to numerically simulate IRI depending on the degree of steatosis and the duration of ischemia. The envisaged model will intertwine the structure, perfusion, and function of the liver, serving as a crucial aid in clinical decision-making processes. We view this as the initial step towards an in-silico clinical decision support tool aimed at enhancing the outcomes of liver transplantation. In this paper, we provide an overview of the SimLivA project and our preliminary findings, which include: a cellular model that delineates critical processes in the context of IRI during transplantation; and the integration of this model into a multi-scale PDE-ODE model using a homogenized, multi-scale, multi-component approach within the Theory of Porous Media (TPM) framework. The model has successfully simulated the interconnected relationship between structure, perfusion, and function—all of which are integral to IRI. Initial results show simulations at the cellular scale that describe critical processes related to IRI during transplantation. After integrating this model into a multiscale PDE-ODE model, first simulations were performed on the spatial distribution of key functions during warm and cold ischaemia. In addition, we were able to study the effect of tissue perfusion and temperature, two critical parameters in the context of liver transplantation and IRI.},

abstract = {Human movement is determined by the activity of specialized nerve cells, the motoneurons. Each motoneuron activates a specific set of muscle fibers. The functional unit consisting of a neuron and muscle fibers is called a motor unit. The activity of motoneurons can be observed noninvasively in living humans by recording the electrical activity of the motor units using the electromyogram. We studied the behavior of human motor units in an inhibitory reflex pathway and found an unexpected response pattern: a rebound-like excitation following the inhibition. This has occasionally been reported for human motor units, but its origin has never been systematically studied. In non-human cells of the neural system, earlier studies reported that a specific membrane protein, the so-called h-channel, can cause postinhibitory excitation. Our study uses a computational motoneuron model to investigate whether h-channels can cause postinhibitory excitation, as observed in the experimental recordings. Using the model, we developed a method to detect features of h-channel activity in human recordings. Because we found these features in half of the recorded motor units, we conclude that h-channels can facilitate postinhibitory excitation in human motoneurons.},

abstract = {The human heart is subject to highly variable amounts of strain during day-to-day activities and needs to adapt to a wide range of physiological demands. This adaptation is driven by an autoregulatory loop that includes both electrical and the mechanical components. In particular, mechanical forces are known to feed back into the cardiac electrophysiology system, which can result in pro- and anti-arrhythmic effects. Despite the widespread use of computational modelling and simulation for cardiac electrophysiology research, the majority of in silico experiments ignore this mechano-electric feedback entirely due to the high computational cost associated with solving cardiac mechanics. In this study, we therefore use an electromechanically coupled whole-heart model to investigate the differential and combined effects of electromechanical feedback mechanisms with a focus on their physiological relevance during sinus rhythm. In particular, we consider troponin-bound calcium, the effect of deformation on the tissue diffusion tensor, and stretch-activated channels. We found that activation of the myocardium was only significantly affected when including deformation into the diffusion term of the monodomain equation. Repolarization, on the other hand, was influenced by both troponin-bound calcium and stretch-activated channels and resulted in steeper repolarization gradients in the atria. The latter also caused afterdepolarizations in the atria. Due to its central role for tension development, calcium bound to troponin affected stroke volume and pressure. In conclusion, we found that mechano-electric feedback changes activation and repolarization patterns throughout the heart during sinus rhythm and lead to a markedly more heterogeneous electrophysiological substrate.},

abstract = {Aim: Although non-invasive, such as focused ultrasound stimulation, and invasive, such as neural interface implantations, neurological interventions on the brain are increasing in the clinics nowadays, there is no detailed experimental model of these mechanical effects on neurons. In this study, we built an experimental model to mimic mechanical strain stress on neurons and compared the experimental model's effectiveness with the existing literature. Methods: In this study, we designed unidirectional, bidirectional, and omnidirectional strain setups integrated with a high-speed camera. Neural membrane potentials and intracellular calcium levels were calculated with a custom algorithm based on the calcium signal collected with Fluo-4 from RenCell human progenitor neurons, which was strained up to 20%. During this analysis, confounding effects of motion, strain, and background were removed with a custom-made algorithm. Results: In these experiments, human progenitor neurons subjected to instantaneous omnidirectional strain stress application above 15% generate action potential responses. While the action potential generation behavior is related to fast intracellular calcium influx, slow internal calcium increase due to strain application is not associated with action potential propagation. Conclusion: In this study, we have produced an experimental model for reproducible omnidirectional strain stress application and determined the threshold strain-stress values of action potential propagation behavior in human progenitor neurons. These results from this experimental model can be combined with theoretical models, such as the Hodgkin & Huxley model, and can be an effective simulation tool for future clinical applications.},

abstract = {The flow of cerebrospinal fluid through the perivascular spaces of the brain is believed to play a crucial role in eliminating toxic waste proteins. While the driving forces of this flow have been enigmatic, experiments have shown that arterial wall motion is central. In this work, we present a network model for simulating pulsatile fluid flow in perivascular networks. We establish the well-posedness of this model in the primal and dual mixed variational settings, and show how it can be discretized using mixed finite elements. Further, we utilize this model to investigate fundamental questions concerning the physical mechanisms governing perivascular fluid flow. Notably, our findings reveal that arterial pulsations can induce directional flow in branching perivascular networks.},

The continuum mechanical description of growth is further justified in the context of thermodynamic consistency.

It is hypothesized that anthropometric factors relevantly influence mechanical conditions in the fracture gap, thereby interfering with the mechanoinduction of fracture healing. Development of a finite element model of a tibia fracture, which is the basis of an in silico population (n = 300) by systematic variation of anthropometric parameters. Simulations of the stance phase and correlation between anthropometric parameters and the mechanical stimulus in the fracture gap. Analysis of the influence of anthropometric parameters on statistical dispersion between in silico trial cohorts with respect to the probability to generate two, with respect to anthropometric parameters statistically different trial cohorts, given the same power assumptions. The mechanical impact in the fracture gap correlates with anthropometric parameters; confirming the hypothesis that anthropometric factors are a relevant entity. On a cohort level simulation of a fracture trial showed that given an adequate power the principle of randomization successfully levels out the impact of anthropometric factors. From a clinical perspective these group sizes are difficult to achieve, especially when considering that the trials takes advantage of a „laboratory approach “, i.e. the fracture type has not been varied, such that in real world trials the cohort size have to be even larger to level out the different configurations of fractures gaps. Anthropometric parameters have a significant impact on the fracture gap mechanics. The cohort sizes necessary to level out this effect are difficult or unrealistic to achieve in RCTs, which is the reason for sparse evidence in orthotrauma. New approaches to clinical trials taking advantage of modelling and simulation techniques need to be developed and explored.</jats:p>},

abstract = {Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) leverage data and knowledge about a problem. They provide a nonnumerical pathway to solving partial differential equations by expressing the field solution as an artificial neural network. This approach has been applied successfully to various types of differential equations. A major area of research on PINNs is the application to coupled partial differential equations in particular, and a general breakthrough is still lacking. In coupled equations, the optimization operates in a critical conflict between boundary conditions and the underlying equations, which often requires either many iterations or complex schemes to avoid trivial solutions and to achieve convergence. We provide empirical evidence for the mitigation of bad initial conditioning in PINNs for solving one-dimensional consolidation problems of porous media through the introduction of affine transformations after the classical output layer of artificial neural network architectures, effectively accelerating the training process. These affine physics-informed neural networks (AfPINNs) then produce nontrivial and accurate field solutions even in parameter spaces with diverging orders of magnitude. On average, AfPINNs show the ability to improve the L_2 relative error by 64.84% after 25,000 epochs for a one-dimensional consolidation problem based on Biot’s theory, and an average improvement by 58.80% with a transfer approach to the theory of porous media.},

abstract = {Left ventricular (LV) myocardial mass is important in the evaluation of cardiac remodeling and requires accurate assessment when performed on linear measurements in two-dimensional echocardiography (Echo). We aimed to compare the accuracy of the Devereux formula (DEV) and the Teichholz formula (TEICH) in calculating LV myocardial mass in Echo using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) as the reference method. Based on preceding mathematical calculations, we identified primarily LV size rather than wall thickness as the main source of bias between DEV and TEICH in a retrospective derivation cohort (n = 1276). Although LV mass from DEV and TEICH were correlated with CMR, TEICH did not show a proportional bias as did DEV (− 2 g/m2 vs. + 22 g/m2). This could be validated in an independent prospective cohort (n = 226) with symptomatic non-ischemic heart failure. DEV systematically overestimated LV mass in all tiers of LV remodeling as compared to TEICH. In conclusion, the TEICH method accounts for the changes in LV geometry with increasing LV mass and thus better reflects the different pattern of LV remodeling than the DEV method. This has important clinical implications, as TEICH may be more appropriate for use in clinical practice, rather than DEV, currently recommended.},

abstract = {The pancreas plays a critical role in maintaining glucose homeostasis through the secretion of hormones from the islets of Langerhans. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) by the pancreatic β-cell is the main mechanism for reducing elevated plasma glucose. Here we present a systematic modeling workflow for the development of kinetic pathway models using the Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML). Steps include retrieval of information from databases, curation of experimental and clinical data for model calibration and validation, integration of heterogeneous data including absolute and relative measurements, unit normalization, data normalization, and model annotation. An important factor was the reproducibility and exchangeability of the model, which allowed the use of various existing tools. The workflow was applied to construct a novel data-driven kinetic model of GSIS in the pancreatic β-cell based on experimental and clinical data from 39 studies spanning 50 years of pancreatic, islet, and β-cell research in humans, rats, mice, and cell lines. The model consists of detailed glycolysis and phenomenological equations for insulin secretion coupled to cellular energy state, ATP dynamics and (ATP/ADP ratio). Key findings of our work are that in GSIS there is a glucose-dependent increase in almost all intermediates of glycolysis. This increase in glycolytic metabolites is accompanied by an increase in energy metabolites, especially ATP and NADH. One of the few decreasing metabolites is ADP, which, in combination with the increase in ATP, results in a large increase in ATP/ADP ratios in the β-cell with increasing glucose. Insulin secretion is dependent on ATP/ADP, resulting in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. The observed glucose-dependent increase in glycolytic intermediates and the resulting change in ATP/ADP ratios and insulin secretion is a robust phenomenon observed across data sets, experimental systems and species. Model predictions of the glucose-dependent response of glycolytic intermediates and biphasic insulin secretion are in good agreement with experimental measurements. Our model predicts that factors affecting ATP consumption, ATP formation, hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, and ATP/ADP-dependent insulin secretion have a major effect on GSIS. In conclusion, we have developed and applied a systematic modeling workflow for pathway models that allowed us to gain insight into key mechanisms in GSIS in the pancreatic β-cell.},

While injury can be assessed in histology, there is no injury score available to be used in clinical practice. 

Methods: Seven rats underwent abdominal aorta stent implantation. At 4 weeks after implantation, animals were euthanized, and strut indentation, defined as the impression of the strut into the vessel wall, as well as neointimal growth were assessed. Established histological injury scores were assessed to confirm associations between indentation and vessel wall injury. In addition, stent strut indentation was assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in an exemplary clinical case. Results: Stent strut indentation was associated with vessel wall injury in histology. Furthermore, indentation was positively correlated with neointimal thickness, both in the per-strut analysis (r = 0.5579) and in the per-section analysis (r = 0.8620; both p ≤ 0.001). In a clinical case, indentation quantification in OCT was feasible, enabling assessment of injury in vivo. 

Conclusion: Assessing stent strut indentation enables periprocedural assessment of stent-induced damage in vivo and therefore allows for optimization of stent implantation. The assessment of stent strut indentation might become a valuable tool in clinical practice.

abstract = {Computational models of the neuromusculoskeletal system provide a deterministic approach to investigate input-output relationships in the human motor system. Neuromusculoskeletal models are typically used to estimate muscle activations and forces that are consistent with observed motion under healthy and pathological conditions. However, many movement pathologies originate in the brain, including stroke, cerebral palsy, and Parkinson’s disease, while most neuromusculoskeletal models deal exclusively with the peripheral nervous system and do not incorporate models of the motor cortex, cerebellum, or spinal cord. An integrated understanding of motor control is necessary to reveal underlying neural-input and motor-output relationships. To facilitate the development of integrated corticomuscular motor pathway models, we provide an overview of the neuromusculoskeletal modelling landscape with a focus on integrating computational models of the motor cortex, spinal cord circuitry, α-motoneurons and skeletal muscle in regard to their role in generating voluntary muscle contraction. Further, we highlight the challenges and opportunities associated with an integrated corticomuscular pathway model, such as challenges in defining neuron connectivities, modelling standardisation, and opportunities in applying models to study emergent behaviour. Integrated corticomuscular pathway models have applications in brain-machine-interaction, education, and our understanding of neurological disease.},
