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.

Piezo1 regulates the mechanotransduction of soft matrix viscoelasticity [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsMechanosensitive ion channels such as Piezo1 have fundamental roles in sensing the mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix. However, whether and how Piezo1 senses time-dependent matrix mechanical properties, that is, viscoelasticity, remains ...

Vibration study of dielectric elastomer conical structure based on fractional viscoelasticity [PDF]
Scientific ReportsDielectric elastomer (DE) is intelligent soft material which is widely used in actuator and energy harvesting fields such as softs robots and wave energy harvesting. Viscoelasticity of DE is seldom investigated by the fractional derivative modeling which

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 ...
