The establishment of tumor microenvironment using biomimetic in vitro models that
recapitulate key tumor hallmarks including the tumor supporting extracellular matrix (ECM) is …

Elastography imaging is a promising tool—in both research and clinical settings—for
diagnosis, staging, and therapeutic treatments of various life-threatening diseases (including …

Abstract Resonant Acoustic Rheometry (RAR) is a new, non-contact technique to
characterize the mechanical properties of soft and viscoelastic biomaterials, such as …

Temporal variations of the extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness profoundly impact cellular
behaviors, possibly more significantly than the influence of static stiffness. Three …

Shear-wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) has been routinely used for measuring the elastic
properties of tissues. It is potentially applicable to three-dimensional (3D) cell culture …

Tissue remodeling and shape changes often rely on force-induced cell rearrangements
occurring via cell-cell contact dynamics. Epithelial cell-cell contact shape changes are …

Estimating the elasticity of hydrogel phantoms in a cell culture plane is important for
understanding the cell behavior in response to various types of mechanical stimuli. Hence, a …

Shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) has long been used to quantify tissue stiffness in
clinical diagnoses. In comparison with conventional bulk-based measurement methods …
