mitigation strategies. While such properties are indispensable for computational modelling …

Cultivating meat from stem cells rather than by raising animals is a promising solution to
concerns about the negative externalities of meat production. For cultivated meat to fully …

Viscoelasticity of living tissues plays a critical role in tissue homeostasis and regeneration,
and its implication in disease development and progression is being recognized recently. In …

Constitutive models are important to biomechanics for two key reasons. First, constitutive
modelling is an essential component of characterizing tissues' mechanical properties for …

The stiffness of soft biological tissues not only depends on the applied deformation, but also
on the deformation rate. To model this type of behavior, traditional approaches select a …

Mechanical cues from the extracellular matrix (ECM) microenvironment are known to be
significant in modulating the fate of stem cells to guide developmental processes and …

Wound refers to the place where human body is injured and ruptured. So, wounds in a
broad sense include not only skin wounds, but also damages of muscle, corneal, heart, and …

The upper airway is a complex, multifunctional, dynamic neuromechanical system. Its
patency during breathing requires moment-to-moment coordination of neural and …

Skeletal muscle tissue is characterized by high metabolic requirements, defined structure
and high regenerative potential. As such, it constitutes an appealing platform for tissue …

Neuromuscular diseases are characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and
muscle weakness resulting in functional disabilities. While each of these diseases is …
