Non-compressible hemorrhage is an unmet clinical challenge, which occurs in inaccessible
sites in the body where compression cannot be applied to stop bleeding. Current treatments …

Repair after injury in mammalian tissue involves a complex cascade of events, with the
formation of local blood clots being essential for the initial phases of wound healing. As a …

The uterus has critical biomechanical functions in pregnancy and undergoes dramatic
material growth and remodeling from implantation to parturition. The intrinsic material …

Blood clots represent living materials composed of a polymer network and an abundance of
cells. They might fracture within the bulk material of the clot (cohesive fracture), at the …

Thromboembolism–that is, clot formation and the subsequent fragmentation of clot–is a
leading cause of death worldwide. Clots' mechanical properties are critical determinants of …

The adaptive mechanical properties of soft and fibrous biological materials are relevant to
their functionality. The emergence of the macroscopic response of these materials to …

Soft materials are an important class of materials. They play critical roles both in nature, in
the form of soft tissues, and in industrial applications. Quantifying their mechanical …

Fibrin clot is a vital class of fibrous materials, governing the mechanical response of blood
clots. Fracture behavior of fibrin clots under complex physiological load is relevant for …

Droplet impact on a substrate is an intriguing phenomenon that widely exists in our daily life
and a broad range of industrial processes. However, droplet impact dynamics on soft …

Hemorrhage is a significant medical problem that has been an active area of research over
the past few decades. The human body has a complex response to bleeding that leads to …
