Viscoelasticity, Like Forces, Plays a Role in Mechanotransduction
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Viscoelasticity and its alteration in time and space has turned out to act as a key element in fundamental biological processes in living systems, such as morphogenesis and motility.

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 ...

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.

Prabhakar-like fractional viscoelasticity [PDF]
Communications in nonlinear science & numerical simulation, 2017 The aim of this paper is to present a linear viscoelastic model based on Prabhakar fractional operators. In particular, we propose a modification of the classical fractional Maxwell model, in which we replace the Caputo derivative with the Prabhakar one.

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 ...

Distinguishing thixotropy from viscoelasticity [PDF]
Journal of rheology, 2021 Owing to non-linear viscoelasticity, materials often show characteristic features that resemble those of thixotropy. This issue has been debated in the literature over the past several decades, and several experimental protocols have been proposed to ...

Hydrogel viscoelasticity modulates migration and fusion of mesenchymal stem cell spheroids
Bioengineering & Translational Medicine, 2022 Multicellular spheroids made of stem cells can act as building blocks that fuse to capture complex aspects of native in vivo environments, but the effect of hydrogel viscoelasticity on cell migration from spheroids and their fusion remains largely ...
