The mechanical properties of soft tissues play a key role in studying human injuries and their
mitigation strategies. While such properties are indispensable for computational modelling …

The mechanical properties of the skin are important for various applications. Numerous tests
have been conducted to characterize the mechanical behavior of this tissue, and this article …

Diabetic foot ulcers and other chronic wounds with impaired healing can be treated with
bioengineered skin or with growth factors. However, most patients do not benefit from these …

The mechanical properties of skin are important for a number of applications including
surgery, dermatology, impact biomechanics and forensic science. In this study, we have …

Sutures that biodegrade and dissolve over a period of several weeks are in great demand to
stitch wounds and surgical incisions. These new materials are receiving increased …

Skin wound healing is a vital process that is important for re-establishing the epithelial
barrier following disease or injury. Aberrant or delayed skin wound healing increases the …

This paper reviews the advances made in recent years on modeling approaches and
experimental techniques to characterize the mechanical properties of human skin. The skin …

Soft biological tissues are complex materials with a large structural variety, with differences
in behavior, but with some common characteristics. Skin is an archetypal soft tissue which …

The mechanical characteristics of skin are extremely complex and have not been
satisfactorily simulated by conventional engineering models. The ability to predict human …

In the past two decades, microneedles have been extensively studied for transdermal
delivery of drug or vaccines and for bio‐fluid extraction. Microneedle‐based devices consist …
