Many soft tissues are naturally made of a matrix and fibres that present some privileged
directions. They are known to support large reversible deformations. The mechanical …

In the multidisciplinary field of heart research it is of utmost importance to identify accurate
myocardium material properties for the description of phenomena such as mechano-electric …

New experimental results on collagen fibre dispersion in human arterial layers have shown
that the dispersion in the tangential plane is more significant than that out of plane. A …

With advancements in technology and a better understanding of human cardiovascular
physiology, research as well as clinical care can go beyond dimensional anatomy offered by …

We demonstrate the ability to spatially pattern biochemical signals into nanofibrous
materials using thiol-ene reactions of thiolated molecules to presented norbornene groups …

Transcatheter aortic valve (TAV) intervention is now the standard-of-care treatment for
inoperable patients and a viable alternative treatment option for high-risk patients with …

Many soft fibrous solids consist of an isotropic matrix with strong embedded fibers. In
continuum models of such materials it is often considered that the fibers do not support …

The plant actin cytoskeleton is an unstable network of filaments that influences polarized
growth through poorly understood mechanisms. Here, we used a combination of live cell …

Understanding the characteristic morphology of our brain remains a challenging, yet
important task in human evolution, developmental biology, and neurosciences …

In the recent years, fluid structure interaction (FSI) models of the aortic valve and root have
become increasingly common for two main reasons. The medical reason is that millions of …
