Biomaterials to facilitate the restoration of cardiac tissue is of emerging importance. While
there are many aspects to consider in the design of biomaterials, mechanical properties can …

In vitro cardiac modeling has taken great strides in the past decade. While most cell and
engineered tissue models have focused on cell and tissue contractile function as readouts …

The complex mechanics of the gastric wall facilitates the main digestive tasks of the
stomach. However, the interplay between the mechanical properties of the stomach, its …

The right ventricular myocardium, much like the rest of the right side of the heart, has been
consistently understudied. Presently, little is known about its mechanics, its microstructure …

Constitutive laws that describe the mechanical responses of cardiac tissue under loading
hold the key to accurately model the biomechanical behaviour of the heart. There have been …

Myofibre architecture is one of the essential components when constructing personalized
cardiac models. In this study, we develop a neonatal porcine bi-ventricle model with three …

Regional mechanics of the heart is vital in the development of accurate computational
models for the pursuit of relevant therapies. Challenges related to heart dysfunctioning are …

Heart failure is the leading cause of death worldwide, and the most common cause of heart
failure is ventricular dysfunction. It is well known that the ventricles are anisotropic and …

Cardiac biomechanics play a significant role in the progression of structural heart diseases
(SHDs). SHDs alter baseline myocardial biomechanics leading to single or bi-ventricular …

Ventricle dysfunction is the most common cause of heart failure, which leads to high
mortality and morbidity. The mechanical behavior of the ventricle is critical to its …
