The mechanical properties of soft tissues play a key role in studying human injuries and their
mitigation strategies. While such properties are indispensable for computational modelling …

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 …

Traumatic spinal cord injury results in severe and irreversible loss of function. The injury
triggers a complex cascade of inflammatory and pathological processes, culminating in …

Brain tissue is not only one of the most important but also the most complex and compliant
tissue in the human body. While long underestimated, increasing evidence confirms that …

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

Mechanics are increasingly recognized to play an important role in modulating brain form
and function. Computational simulations are a powerful tool to predict the mechanical …

During nervous system development, neurons extend axons along well-defined pathways.
The current understanding of axon pathfinding is based mainly on chemical signaling …

Injury to the central nervous system (CNS) alters the molecular and cellular composition of
neural tissue and leads to glial scarring, which inhibits the regrowth of damaged axons …

The brain is our softest and most vulnerable organ, and understanding its physics is a
challenging but significant task. Throughout the past decade, numerous competing models …

Directional cell migration normally relies on a variety of external signals, such as chemical,
mechanical, or electrical, which instruct cells in which direction to move. Many of the major …
