After injury, while regeneration can be observed in hydra, planaria and some vertebrates,regeneration is rare in mammals and particularly in humans. In this paper, we investigatethe mechanisms by which biological tissues recover after injury. We explore this question onadipose tissue, using the mathematical framework recently ...

The mechanisms by which organs acquire their functional structure and realize its maintenance (or homeostasis) over time are still largely unknown. In this paper, we investigate this question on adipose tissue. Adipose tissue can represent 20 to 50% of the body weight. Its investigation is key to overcome a large array of metabolic disorders...

We propose a new model for the emergence of blood capillary networks. We assimilate the tissue and extra cellular matrix as a porous medium, using Darcy's law for describing both blood and intersticial fluid flows. Oxygen obeys a convection-diffusionreaction equation describing advection by the blood, diffusion and consumption by the tissue....

In sheep, wave motion in semen is currently used by AI centres to select ejaculates for insemination. Despite its low cost, convenience and established ability to predict fertility, the subjectivity of this assessment is a limiting factor for its applicability. The aims of the present study were to establish an objective method for the analysis...
