Hydrogel strain sensors have attracted tremendous attention in medical monitoring, flexible
wearable devices, and human–machine interfaces. However, traditional hydrogels exhibit …

Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) has become the preferred intervention option for aortic
aneurysms and dissections. This is because EVAR is much less invasive than the alternative …

Ultrasound imaging has long been playing a central role in detecting abdominal aortic
aneurysms (AAAs). With a recent trend of reducing prevalence of AAAs, ultrasound …

In the field of material modeling, there is a general trend to include more and more complex
phenomena in the modeling, making the models' theoretical derivation and numerical …

Soft biological tissues often exhibit notable strain stiffening under increasing stretch, and this
can have significant effects on tissue growth and morphological development, such as …

Cardiac growth and remodeling (G&R) patterns change ventricular size, shape, and function
both globally and locally. Biomechanical, neurohormonal, and genetic stimuli drive these …

Growth and remodeling in soft tissue changes, in general, the orientation distribution of the
collagen fibers in the tissue. So far, the governing principles are still incompletely …

The development of the vascular system was a critical step in the evolution of species. It
allowed organisms to meet the growing metabolic demands and opened the door for the …

Tissue growth and remodeling (G&R) is often central to disease etiology and progression, so
understanding G&R is essential for understanding disease and develo** effective …

Damage in soft biological tissues causes an inflammatory reaction that initiates a chain of
events to repair the tissue. This work presents a continuum model and its in silico …
