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 brain tumors grow, they must do one of two things: push against the brain or use finger-like extensions to invade and ...

L. H. Pennington, The Effect of Longitudinal Compression upon the Production of Mechanical Tissue in Stems, Botanical Gazette, Vol. 50, No. 4 (Oct., 1910), pp. 257-284 ...

TU Graz: In-depth understanding of the biomechanics of the heart. In order to correctly interpret this fingerprint of the tissue, a comprehensive understanding of the microstructure and mechanical ...

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.

In cisors develop in the womb d ue to a buildup of mechanical pressure within the tissue, according to a n 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 ...
