From Cytoskeletal Remodeling to Oocyte Quality: The Emerging Role of Mechanics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical properties of the oocyte are increasingly recognized as critical determinants of meiotic success and developmental potential. How actomyosin remodeling controls oocyte mechanics, how these properties are altered in pathological conditions, and how they could serve as markers in reproductive medicine are examined.

Assessing liver tumor stiffness by transient elastography [PDF]

Hepatology International, 2007
Transient elastography is a novel noninvasive method to assess liver fibrosis by measuring liver stiffness. This study is a first step toward the provision of a noninvasive measurement of hepatic tumor stiffness by transient elastography.Patients with liver tumor larger than 5 cm in diameter and located near the liver surface were enrolled between June

Assessment of renal allograft fibrosis by transient elastography [PDF]

Transplant International, 2013
Transient elastography (TE, Fibroscan) has been established as a noninvasive assessment tool of liver fibrosis. We evaluated potentials and limitations of TE for identifying renal allograft fibrosis. The technical possibility of kidney examination by TE was assessed in two 10-week-old German landrace pigs and kidney stiffness (KS) was evaluated in 164 ...
