Changes in biomechanical properties of biological soft tissues are often associated with
physiological dysfunctions. Since biological soft tissues are hydrated, viscoelasticity is likely …

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a critical medical condition defined as the rapid development of
hepatic dysfunction. Conventional ultrasound elastography cannot continuously monitor …

The field of mechanobiology is gaining prominence due to recent findings that show cells
sense and respond to the mechanical properties of their environment through a process …

The crystalline lens is a transparent, biconvex structure that has its curvature and refractive
power modulated to focus light onto the retina. This intrinsic morphological adjustment of the …

Objective: Hydrogel scaffolds have attracted attention to develop cellular therapy and tissue

Thromboembolism in a cerebral blood vessel is associated with high morbidity and mortality.
Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is one of the emergenc proceduresperformed to remove …

The biomechanical characterization of the tissues provides significant evidence for
determining the pathological status and assessing the disease treatment. Incorporating …

In the field of acoustics, a medium has traditionally been considered a liquid if shear waves
cannot propagate. For more complex liquids, such as those containing polymer chains or …

Capillary waves are associated with fluid mechanical properties. Optical coherence
tomography (OCT) has previously been used to determine the viscoelasticity of soft tissues …

The variations of mechanical properties in soft tissues are biomarkers used for clinical
diagnosis and disease monitoring. Optical coherence elastography (OCE) has been …
