The importance of the pericardium for cardiac biomechanics: from physiology to computational modeling.

abstract：:Cell deformability and mechanical responses of living cells depend closely on the dynamic changes in the structural architecture of the cytoskeleton (CSK). To describe the dynamic reorganization and the heterogeneity of the prestressed multi-modular CSK, we developed a two-dimensional model for the CSK which was taken...
