Generalized 3D quasi-phase-matching model of image contrast in second harmonic generation microscopy of fibrillar collagen architectures [PDF]

JPhys Photonics
Second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy is a powerful tool in assessing collagen structure, especially with respect to differentiating the respective architectures of normal and diseased tissues.

A fibril-scale visco-hyperelastic model for the mechanics of vocal-fold tissues [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
IntroductionModeling the mechanics of human vocal folds during phonation is a challenging task. This is partly due to the mechanics of their soft and highly anisotropic fibrous tissues, which undergoes finite strains with both elasticity and strain-rate ...
