Stiffness Modeling and Dynamics Co-Modeling for Space Cable-Driven Linkage Continuous Manipulators
Mathematics, 2023 The space cable-driven continuous manipulator (SCCM) has a slender structure, ultra-high degrees of freedom, and a low mass, which make it suitable for equipment inspection and maintenance operations in an unstructured and limited space environment.

Mechanical Stiffness Controls Dendritic Cell Metabolism and Function.
Cell Reports, 2021 Stiffness in the tissue microenvironment changes in most diseases and immunological conditions, but its direct influence on the immune system is poorly understood. Here, we show that static tension impacts immune cell function, maturation, and metabolism.

Using stiffness to assess injury risk:comparison of methods for quantifying stiffness and their reliability in triathletes [PDF]
, 2018 Background: A review of the literature has indicated that lower body stiffness, defined as the extent to which the lower extremity joints resists deformation upon contact with the ground, may be a useful measure for assessing Achilles injury risk in ...

Platelets’ Nanomechanics and Morphology in Neurodegenerative Pathologies
Biomedicines, 2022 The imaging and force–distance curve modes of atomic force microscopy (AFM) are explored to compare the morphological and mechanical signatures of platelets from patients diagnosed with classical neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) and healthy individuals.

Does shear wave ultrasound independently predict axillary lymph node metastasis in women with invasive breast cancer? [PDF]
, 2013 Shear wave elastography (SWE) shows promise as an adjunct to greyscale ultrasound examination in assessing breast masses. In breast cancer, higher lesion stiffness on SWE has been shown to be associated with features of poor prognosis.
