“…SPH has also been used to simulate how malaria parasites reduce the deformability of infected red blood cells [238] and to model the near-wall dynamics of leukocytes in flow [239]. Although the SPH approach has been widely employed for modeling blood flow, the difficulty of discretizing complex continuum geometries into pseudo-particles was recently overcome by mean of a multiblock approach [240] in which the whole problem domain is divided into simpler blocks, which are then discretized into evenly sized pseudo-particles.…”

The use of meshfree and particle methods in the field of bioengineering and biomechanics has significantly increased. This may be attributed to their unique abilities to overcome most of the inherent limitations of mesh-based methods in dealing with problems involving large deformation and complex geometry that are common in bioengineering and computational biomechanics in particular. This review article is intended to identify, highlight and summarize research works on topics that are of substantial interest in the field of computational biomechanics in which meshfree or particle methods have been employed for analysis, simulation or/and modeling of biological systems such as soft matters, cells, biological soft and hard tissues and organs. We also anticipate that this review will serve as a useful resource and guide to researchers who intend to extend their work into these research areas. This review article includes 333 references. Highlights  We present an up to date review of meshfree and particle methods, including their advantages and limitations.  We comprehensively discuss past and recent applications of meshfree and particle methods in bioengineering and biomechanics.  We identify research areas, directions, and opportunities for the application of meshfree and particle methods in bioengineering and biomechanics.
