Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a versatile imaging technique for mapping the
viscoelastic properties of soft biological tissues. It has been widely used to detect liver …

Just as the epigenome, the proteome and the electrophysiological properties of a cell
influence its function, so too do its intrinsic mechanical properties and its extrinsic …

Mechanical properties of brain tissue are very complex and vary with the species, region,
method, and dynamic range, and between in vivo and ex vivo measurements. To reconcile …

The hippocampus is a very heterogeneous brain structure with different mechanical
properties reflecting its functional variety. In particular, adult neurogenesis in rodent …

Neuroinflammatory processes occurring during multiple sclerosis cause disseminated
softening of brain tissue, as quantified by in vivo magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neuroinflammatory disease that involves both white and
gray matter. Although gray matter damage is a major contributor to disability in MS patients …

Abstract In 1868, French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot coined the term multiple sclerosis
(MS) after his observation that numerous white matter (WM) glial scars felt like sclerotic …

Modulation of cerebral blood flow and vascular compliance plays an important role in the
regulation of intracranial pressure (ICP) and also influences the viscoelastic properties of …

There is growing awareness that brain mechanical properties are important for neural
development and health. However, published values of brain stiffness differ by orders of …

Brain mechanics is a topic of deep interest because of the significant role of mechanical
cues in both brain function and form. Specifically, capturing the heterogeneous and …
