Abstract

top
A number of biological phenomena are interlaced with classical mechanics. In this review are illustrated two examples from tumor growth, namely the formation of primordial networks of vessels (vasculogenesis) and the avascular phase of solid tumors. In both cases the formalism of continuum mechanics, accompanied by accurate numerical simulations, are able to shed light on biological controversies. The converse is also true: non-standard mechanical problems suggest new challenging mathematical questions.
