TL;DR: It is shown that classical mechanical concepts including deformations, stretch, strain, strain rate, pressure, and stress play a crucial role in modulating both brain form and brain function.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a general framework for fractional calculus in continuum mechanics by defining the laws of motion and the stresses using fractional derivatives, and apply this framework to two one-dimensional model problems: the deformation of an infinite bar subjected to a self-equilibrated load distribution, and the propagation of longitudinal waves in a thin finite bar.

TL;DR: This issue marks a transition and a changing of the guard for Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine as Hindawi takes the helm and converts CMMM to the community-based, open access model that they have so successfully championed.

TL;DR: A simple spatio-temporal mathematical model is considered, based on proliferation and diffusion, that incorporates the effects of radiotherapeutic and chemotherAPEutic treatments that is used to predict optimal sequencing of the postoperative treatments for brain tumors.

TL;DR: A mathematical model is presented that incorporates tumor cells and the vascular network, as well as their interplay, and can include the effects of two different treatments, conventional cytotoxic therapy and anti-angiogenic therapy, which is compared with available experimental and clinical data.
