Signaling pathways in elastic tissues

Cellular Signalling, 2019
For many years elastin was considered as the matrix component structurally required to provide tissue elasticity. However, the expanded knowledge on the regulation of connective tissue homeostasis has revealed that elastic fibers also represent a source of elastokines and are the target of a number of signaling pathways mainly involving the TGF-β/BMP ...

Quantification of Atherosclerotic Plaque Elasticity Using Ultrasonic Texture Matching

IEEE Access, 2020
The composition of an atherosclerotic plaque is a major determinant of its vulnerability, i.e. proneness to rupture. This paper proposes an ultrasonic texture matching method, which is shown to reflect the distribution of elastic modulus and is a ...

Elastic transformation of histological slices allows precise co-registration with microCT data sets for a refined virtual histology approach

Scientific Reports, 2021
Although X-ray based 3D virtual histology is an emerging tool for the analysis of biological tissue, it falls short in terms of specificity when compared to conventional histology.

Simulating Organogenesis in COMSOL: Tissue Mechanics

, 2017
During growth, tissue expands and deforms. Given its elastic properties, stresses emerge in an expanding and deforming tissue. Cell rearrangements can dissipate these stresses and numerous experiments confirm the viscoelastic properties of tissues [1]-[4]
