Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) is a fairly novel imaging technique aiming to quantify mechanical tissue properties closely linked to the concept of stiffness 1. SWE is based on B-mode ...

The interplay between contractility and mechanosensing in striated muscle is important for tissue morphogenesis, load adaptation, and disease progression, but remains poorly understood. Here, we ...

You may not be able to grow bigger muscles out of thin air, but you can 3D print them in microgravity, scientists at ETH Zurich have now established. "3D printing" refers to a type of manufacturing ...

The study, led by Dr. Cheng-Hui Li from the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Nanjing University, and Dr. Pengfei Zheng from the Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, ...
