Multiscale Modeling in Vascular Disease and Tissue Engineering - Multiscale Computer Modeling in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering - page 251

Although vascular mechanobiological modeling is already helping to establish
better patient selection criteria and more objective strategies for both choosing and
optimising personalised therapeutic options, there is undoubtedly further scope for
this predictive modeling framework in the development of the more individualised
medical therapies of the future.
