Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a key component of the tumour microenvironment
with diverse functions, including matrix deposition and remodelling, extensive reciprocal …

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality in
women worldwide. Early diagnosis and effective treatment of all types of cancers are crucial …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a phase contrast–based MRI technique that can
measure displacement due to propagating mechanical waves, from which material …

Pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are highly
abundant cells in the pancreatic tumor microenvironment (TME) that modulate desmoplasia …

Chronic liver diseases often result in the development of liver fibrosis and ultimately,
cirrhosis. Treatment strategies and prognosis differ greatly depending on the severity of liver …

The first reports of accurate skeletal muscle mass measurement in human subjects
appeared at about the same time as introduction of the sarcopenia concept in the late …

Optical coherence elastography (OCE), as the use of OCT to perform elastography has
come to be known, began in 1998, around ten years after the rest of the field of elastography …

With phase-contrast imaging, the MRI signal is used to visualize and quantify velocity. This
imaging modality relies on phase data, which are intrinsic to all MRI signals. With use of …

After ten years of progress and innovation, optical coherence elastography (OCE) based on
the propagation of mechanical waves has become one of the major and the most studied …

The rheology of ultrasoft materials like the human brain is highly sensitive to regional and
temporal variations and to the type of loading. While recent experiments have shaped our …
