Draco-Stem

Keywords: 3D Reconstruction - Triangular Mesh - Biomechanical Simulations

Functional Description

A computational tool called DRACO-STEM (Dual Reconstruction by Adjacency Complex Optimization - SAM Tissue Enhanced Mesh) has been made available, with the aim of bridging the gap between experimental data and tissue biomechanics models. It provides the necessary tools to generate a FEM-ready, topologically accurate, complete 3D triangular mesh of meristematic tissue, based on a segmented image obtained from a confocal microscopy acquisition. The produced meshes proved to be useable as an input for computational simulations of biomechanical and physiological cellular processes.
