Physical forces are ubiquitous in biological processes across scales and diverse contexts.
This review highlights the significance of mechanical forces in nervous system development …

Brain aging is a complex process that affects everything from the subcellular to the organ
level, begins early in life, and accelerates with age. Morphologically, brain aging is primarily …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a versatile imaging technique for map** the
viscoelastic properties of soft biological tissues. It has been widely used to detect liver …

All cells sense and integrate mechanical and biochemical cues from their environment to
orchestrate organismal development and maintain tissue homeostasis …

All cells are influenced by mechanical forces. In the brain, force-generating and load-
bearing proteins twist, turn, ratchet, flex, compress, expand and bend to mediate neuronal …

Neurological disorders are one of the most important public health concerns in developed
countries. Established brain imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) …

Immune responses are governed by signals from the tissue microenvironment, and in
addition to biochemical signals, mechanical cues and forces arising from the tissue, its …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is an imaging technique for noninvasively and
quantitatively assessing tissue stiffness, akin to palpation. MRE is further able assess the …

Abstract Changes in tissue composition and cellular architecture have been associated with
neurological disease, and these in turn can affect biomechanical properties. Natural …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is an MRI-based technique to noninvasively
measure tissue stiffness. Currently well established for clinical use in the liver, MRE is …
