The mechanical behavior of soft tissue extracellular matrix is time dependent. Moreover, it
evolves over time due to physiological processes as well as aging and disease. Measuring …

The high stiffness of intravenous needles can cause tissue injury and increase the risk of
transmission of blood-borne pathogens through accidental needlesticks. Here we describe …

Human midbrain-specific organoids (hMOs) serve as an experimental in vitro model for
studying the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). In hMOs, neuroepithelial stem cells …

Polysaccharide-based hydrogels are attractive materials for biomedical applications for
reasons that include their polyfunctionality, generally benign nature, and biodegradability …

Abstract 3D printing can produce intuitive, precise, and personalized anatomical models,
providing invaluable support for precision medicine, particularly in areas like surgical …

Elastography researchers have utilized several rheological models to characterize soft
tissue viscoelasticity over the past thirty years. Due to the frequency-dependent behavior of …

We describe a novel mechanical characterization method that has directly measured the
stiffness of cancer spheroids for the first time to our knowledge. Stiffness is known to be a …

It is well established that the soft connective tissues show a nonlinear elastic response that
comes from their microstructural arrangement. Tissues' microstructure alters with various …
