Increasing hydrogel complexity from 2D towards 3D towards intestinal tissue engineering Universiteit Gent
There is a high demand for in vitro intestinal models towards studying intestinal disfunctions, such as gastrointestinal diseases (Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, colorectal cancer, etc.) which are commonly diagnosed in modern society. In parallel, in vitro models are utilized for the evaluation of novel food supplements and pharmaceuticals in the intestinal micro-environment. Gelatin-based hydrogels can offer appropriate mechanical ...
Modeling 3D fruit tissue microstructure using a novel ellipsoid tessellation algorithm KU Leuven
Transport processes of gas and moisture are among the most important physiological processes in plant tissue. Microscale transport models based on Navier-Stokes equations provide insight into such processes at the microscopic scale. Due to microscopic complexity, numerical solutions based on the finite element or finite volume methods are mandatory. Therefore, a 3D geometric model of the tissue is essential. In this article, a novel algorithm ...
Towards the creation of artificial plant tissue through 3D food printing KU Leuven
The global food market is constantly evolving due the growing demand for food and changing consumer preferences. Public interest in the concept of personalized foods with tailor made flavor and dietary properties is increasing steadily. In response to this, digital technologies such as additive manufacturing (AM, also known as 3D printing) are being considered for designing and fabricating food in a more flexible manner. Recently, an increasing ...
3D virtual pome fruit tissue generation based on cell growth modeling KU Leuven
A 3D virtual fruit tissue generator is presented that can distinctly define the microstructural components of a fruit tissue and that can be used to model important physical processes such as gas transport during controlled atmosphere storage. The model is based on the biomechanics of plant cells in tissues. The main merit of this algorithm is that it can account for typical differences in intercellular air space networks and in cell size and ...
Automatic 3D cell segmentation of fruit parenchyma tissue from X-ray micro CT images using deep learning KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: High quality 3D information of the microscopic plant tissue morphology-the spatial organization of cells and intercellular spaces in tissues-helps in understanding physiological processes in a wide variety of plants and tissues. X-ray micro-CT is a valuable tool that is becoming increasingly available in plant research to obtain 3D microstructural information of the intercellular pore space and individual pore sizes and shapes of ...
A 3D fruit tissue growth algorithm based on cell biomechanics KU Leuven
A 3D fruit tissue growth algorithm is presented based on the biomechanics of plant cells in tissues. The algorithm is able to generate realistic virtual fruit tissues. It was used to produce cell architectures of pome fruits with intercellular air spaces. The cell size and shape differences in pear cortex tissue and apple cortex tissue are obtained by implementing different maximum resting length of the cell walls and different cell wall ...
