• A history of the study of solid tumour growth: The contribution of mathematical modelling (2004, background): “Fung (1991), for example, noted the existence of residual stresses in living organs and highlighted the importance of such stresses to physiological functions, asserting that ‘in a living organism, the function of its organs depends on the levels of their internal stress and strain’.”
• Circumferential buckling instability of a growing cylindrical tube (2011, background): “They are a hallmark of biological systems, and play a key role in the mechanical properties of numerous biological tissues, including blood vessels (Fung, 1991), arteries (Humphrey, 2003), and plant stems (Vandiver and Goriely, 2008).”
