    Continuum mechanics approaches have been used to model the mechanical behaviour of biological (and active) systems at length scales that are large enough.For example, when analysed at the micron-scale, biological membranes can be treated as continuum objects that deform regulated by effective properties such as curvature mismatch or active forces. Those...
