An On-Chip Viscoelasticity Sensor for Biological Fluids
Cyborg and Bionic Systems, 2023 There are so many non-Newtonian fluids in our daily life, such as milk, blood, cytoplasm, and mucus, most of which are viscoelastic heterogeneous liquid containing cells, inorganic ion, metabolites, and hormones.

Photo-induced viscoelasticity in cytocompatible hydrogel substrates
New Journal of Physics, 2019 Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) sense and respond to the bulk elastic and viscoelastic properties of their microenvironment, as well as the spatial distribution of these mechanical signals.

Viscoelasticity Imaging of Biological Tissues and Single Cells Using Shear Wave Propagation
Frontiers in Physics, 2021 Changes in biomechanical properties of biological soft tissues are often associated with physiological dysfunctions. Since biological soft tissues are hydrated, viscoelasticity is likely suitable to represent its solid-like behavior using elasticity and ...

Need for Speed: The Importance of Physiological Strain Rates in Determining Myocardial Stiffness
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 The heart is viscoelastic, meaning its compliance is inversely proportional to the speed at which it stretches. During diastolic filling, the left ventricle rapidly expands at rates where viscoelastic forces impact ventricular compliance.

Viscoelastic Networks: Forming Cells and Tissues
Frontiers in Physics, 2021 Spatiotemporal changes in viscoelasticity are a key component of the morphogenesis of living systems. Experimental and theoretical findings suggest that cellular- and tissue-scale viscoelasticity can be understood as a collective property emerging from ...

Tunable hydrogel viscoelasticity modulates human neural maturation
Science Advances, 2023 Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) have emerged as a promising in vitro model system for studying neurodevelopment. However, current models remain limited in their ability to incorporate tunable biomechanical signaling cues imparted by the ...

Passive odd viscoelasticity. [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2021 Active chiral viscoelastic materials exhibit elastic responses perpendicular to the applied stresses, referred to as odd elasticity. We use a covariant formulation of viscoelasticity combined with an entropy production analysis to show that odd ...
