Background Congenital aortic stenosis (ConAoS) accounts for approximately 4%–8% of all congenital heart diseases. Chronic ...
Arterial stiffness, a leading marker of risk in hypertension, can be measured at material or structural levels, with the latter combining effects of the geometry and composition of the wall, including ...
Abstract: This article presents an edge-based smoothed finite element method (ES-FEM) aiming to enhance the accuracy of magnetic field simulations in permanent magnet motors (PMMs). ES-FEM constructs ...
Abstract: Drawing on screw theory and the virtual joint method, this paper presents a general and hierarchical approach for semianalytical stiffness modeling of parallel mechanisms. The stiffness ...
Breast cancer is characterized by physical changes that occur in the tumor microenvironment throughout growth and metastasis of tumors. Extracellular matrix stiffness increases as tumors develop and ...
Skin aging is a physiological issue that is still relatively poorly understood. Studies have demonstrated that the dermal extracellular matrix (ECM) plays important roles in skin aging. However, the ...
The arterial wall is a composite material of elastin, collagen, and extracellular matrix with acutely modifiable material properties through the action of smooth muscle cells. Therefore, arterial ...

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. The primary and only modifiable risk factor for the development of glaucoma is elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), and lowering IOP ...
Titin, the largest protein known, forms an elastic myofilament in the striated muscle sarcomere. To establish titin’s contribution to skeletal muscle passive stiffness, relative to that of the ...
