Persistent Vascular Collagen Accumulation Alters Hemodynamic Recovery from Chronic Hypoxia [PDF]
, 2012 Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is caused by narrowing and stiffening of the pulmonary arteries that increase pulmonary vascular impedance (PVZ). In particular, small arteries narrow and large arteries stiffen. Large pulmonary artery (PA) stiffness

International Journal For Multidisciplinary ResearchMechanobiology is an emerging field of multidisciplinary research studying how the physical properties of the cell environment and mechanical loads regulate biological processes at the cellular, tissue, and molecular levels. It adopts ideas from physics, biology, and engineering to comprehend how cells sense, translate, and respond to mechanical ...

Mechanobiology in the eye. [PDF]
NPJ Biol Phys MechThe eye presents a very dynamic biomechanical environment, and thus ocular cells must be highly mechanosensitive and mechanoresponsive. Moreover, defects in mechanobiological pathways contribute to a number of sight-threatening ocular diseases ...

A model for the anisotropic response of fibrous soft tissues using six discrete fibre bundles [PDF]
, 2010 The development of accurate constitutive models of fibrous soft-tissues is a challenging problem. Many consider the tissue to be a collection of fibres with a continuous distribution function representing their orientations. A novel discrete fibre model

Mechanobiology of the meniscus [PDF]
Journal of Biomechanics, 2015 The meniscus plays a critical biomechanical role in the knee, providing load support, joint stability, and congruity. Importantly, growing evidence indicates that the mechanobiologic response of meniscal cells plays a critical role in the physiologic, pathologic, and repair responses of the meniscus.
