After ten years of progress and innovation, optical coherence elastography (OCE) based on
the propagation of mechanical waves has become one of the major and the most studied …

Mechanical tissue properties contribute to tissue shape change during development.
Emerging evidence suggests that gradients of viscoelasticity correspond to cell movement …

Optical elastography offers a rich body of imaging capabilities that can serve as a bridge
between organ-level medical elastography and single-molecule biophysics. We review the …

The measurement of the biomechanical properties of the skin is of great interest since these
properties play an important role in the development of several diseases such as skin …

We investigated laser-induced shock excitation of elastic surface waves at a free surface
and a soft solid–liquid interface using a customdesigned photoelasticity imaging technique …

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

Objective: Optical coherence elastography (OCE) allows for high resolution analysis of
elastic tissue properties. However, due to the limited penetration of light into tissue …

Thin copper plate is widely used in architecture, transportation, heavy equipment, and
integrated circuit substrates due to its unique properties. However, it is challenging to …

Many tissues are composed of layered structures, and a better understanding of the
changes in the layered tissue biomechanics can enable advanced guidance and monitoring …

It is usually considered that plasma pressure impulse is the only mechanism corresponding
to the laser excitation of bulk and elastic surface waves in an ablative regime. We report the …
