H. Tahir, I. Niculescu, C. Bona-Casas, R. M. H. Merks, and A. G. Hoekstra, “An in silico study on the role of smooth muscle cell migration in neointimal formation after coronary stenting,” J. R. Soc. Interface, vol. 12, no. 108, p. 20150358, 2015.

In a recent publication in The Royal Society Interface Hannan Tahir et all propose a hypothesis for the early onset of in-stent restenosis, and perform in-silico tests using a Cellular Potts Model, demonstrating that a deeper stent deployment results in on average larger fenestrae in the elastic lamina, allowing easier migration of SMCs into the lumen.
