Epithelial tissues are in constant interaction with their environment. Maintaining their functionality requires dynamic ...

When a patient needs a new heart valve, the current mechanical and tissue replacements each have strengths and weaknesses. Now, a team of UBC Okanagan researchers believe they have found a way to ...

Cell invasion is a mechanical process in which a migrating cell applies forces causing rupturing and deformation of the tissue. Resistance of tissue to invasion is determined by adhesion strength ...

Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial hand that can grip and make gestures. The breakthrough shows the way ...

As these changes occur, the tissue mechanical properties also change. The natural history of AAA is progressive enlargement to a point of mechanical tissue failure, typically followed by death.

Incisors develop in the womb due to a buildup of mechanical pressure within the tissue, according to an animal study published in Nature Cell Biology. This revelation may lead to a better ...

Mechanical Hysteroscopic Tissue Removal System: At present, the methods used for Hysteroscopy include Resectoscopy - An electrical resection that causes scarring, abnormal bleeding, gas embolism ...

In order to correctly interpret this fingerprint of the tissue, a comprehensive understanding of the microstructure and mechanical properties of biological tissue is required.

Gastrointestinal Tissue Mechanics Project Focus Our research in GI tissue mechanics has focused on characterizing the mechanical tissue properties of the GI tract and modeling how robotic capsule ...

In the foregoing work the four woody stems show no increase in mechanical strength or in the amount or kind of mechanical tissue under the influence of longitudinal compression. In young herbaceous ...
