The adventitia, the outer layer of the blood vessel wall, may be the most complex layer of the
wall and may be the master regulator of wall physiology and pathobiology. This review …

Skin is the outermost layer of the body and acts as a primary protective barrier against
external agents such as heat, light, infection, and injury. Additionally, skin regulates the …

Constitutive modeling is a cornerstone for stress analysis of mechanical behaviors of
biological soft tissues. Recently, it has been shown that machine learning (ML) techniques …

Fibrin is the three-dimensional mechanical scaffold of protective blood clots that stop
bleeding and pathological thrombi that obstruct blood vessels. Fibrin must be mechanically …

With the growing rate of traumatic brain injury (TBI), there is an increasing interest in
validated tools to predict and prevent brain injuries. Finite element models (FEM) are …

Computer modeling and simulation is a powerful tool for assessing the performance of
medical devices such as bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) that promises to accelerate …

The rapid deformation of brain tissue in response to head impact can lead to traumatic brain
injury. In vivo measurements of brain deformation during non-injurious head impacts are …

The adoption of multiscale approaches by the biomechanical community has caused a
major improvement in quality in the mechanical characterization of soft tissues. The recent …

Arterial growth and remodeling at the tissue level is driven by mechanobiological processes
at cellular and sub-cellular levels. Although it is widely accepted that cells seek to promote …

Degradable porous polymeric structures are attractive candidates for biological tissue
scaffolds, and adequate mechanical, transport, chemical and biological properties …
