Research focused on deciphering the biochemical mechanisms that regulate cell
proliferation and function has largely depended on the use of tissue culture methods in …

▪ Abstract The dimensions, composition, and stiffness of the airway wall are important
determinants of airway cross-sectional area during dynamic collapse in a forced expiration …

The microstructure of porcine adipose tissue is examined, and a micromechanical model is
proposed for the dependence of overall effective modulus upon the moduli of the constituent …

Breathing involves fluid-solid interactions in the lung; however, the lack of experimental data
inhibits combining the mechanics of air flow to airway deformation, challenging the …

Airway obstruction and pulmonary mechanics remain understudied despite lung disease
being the third cause of death in the United States. Lack of relevant data has led …

The airflow characteristics in a computed tomography (CT) based human airway bifurcation
model with rigid and compliant walls are investigated numerically. An in-house three …

Understanding the mechanical properties of human adipose tissue, and its influence on seat
belt-pelvis interaction is beneficial for computational human body models that are developed …

Pulmonary disease is known to cause remodeling of tissue structure, resulting in altered
viscoelastic properties; yet the foundation for understanding this phenomenon is still nascent …

The capillary instability that occurs on an annular film lining a tube is studied as a model of
airway closure. Small waves in the film can amplify and form a plug across the tube. This …

BACKGROUND: Human trachea is a multi-component structure composed of cartilage,
trachealis muscle, mucosa and submucosa membrane and adventitial membrane. Its …
