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 …

Computational modelling of the lungs is an active field of study that integrates computational
advances with lung biophysics, biomechanics, physiology and medical imaging to promote …

Conventional 3D bioprinting allows fabrication of 3D scaffolds for biomedical applications. In
this contribution we present a cryogenic 3D printing method able to produce stable 3D …

Narrowing the mechanical and electrical mismatch between tissue and implantable
microelectronics is essential for reducing immune responses and modulating …

From the development of self-aggregating, scaffold-free multicellular spheroids to the
inclusion of scaffold systems, 3D models have progressively increased in complexity to …

Breathing involves fluid-solid interactions in the lung; however, the lack of experimental data
inhibits combining the mechanics of air flow to airway deformation, challenging the …

To prevent or reduce mortality from lung diseases, new biological materials and scaffolds
are needed to conduct more accurate research and support lung tissue regeneration. On the …

Accurate tissue phantoms are difficult to design due to the complex non-linear viscoelastic
properties of real soft tissues. A composite hydrogel, resulting from a mix of poly (vinyl) …

Organoids are a novel three-dimensional stem cells' culture system that allows the in vitro
recapitulation of organs/tissues structure complexity. Pluripotent and adult stem cells are …

Distal airways commonly obstruct in lung disease and despite their importance, their
mechanical properties are vastly underexplored. The lack of bronchial experiments restricts …
