Bifurcation in the healing or fibrotic response in a network model of fibrosis: role of the initial injury structure by Ethan Israel, Joseph K. Hall, Yuqing Deng, Jason H. T. Bates, Béla Suki

“…Previous evidence suggests that percolation behavior, where increasing local stiffness facilitates the emergence of stiff regions that span the tissue, underlies the stiffening of the ECM and drives the irreversible mechanical dysfunction. However, it is not fully understood how percolation emerges from the complex interactions between cells and the ECM.MethodsIn this study, we investigated a previously published agent-based spring network model of PF that exhibited bifurcation behavior between healing and fully developed fibrosis as network members were gradually stiffened. …”
