Previous work has shown that single cells can sense microenvironment stiffness through thin matrix layers, and this range extends with viscoelastic collagen compared to elastic hydrogels. Here, we ...

A program that follows the finite element method with 1-D elements. This is program was created as a semester project for the class Matrix Structural Analysis - 1D finite elements of the NTUA's School ...

Abstract: Shale is a critical hydrocarbon reservoir generally considered a typical transverse isotropy with a vertical axis of symmetry vertical transverse isotropic (VTI) media. Petrophysical ...

We'll look at why it's useful to split the body being analysed into small elements and the different elements types that can be used. We'll also cover the key concept behind the finite element method, ...

Dozens of machine learning algorithms require computing the inverse of a matrix. Computing a matrix inverse is conceptually easy, but implementation is one of the most challenging tasks in numerical ...

Cell migration is essential for numerous biological processes in health and disease, including for immune cell trafficking. Monocyte immune cells migrate through extracellular matrix (ECM) to the ...

Osteoarthritis (OA), the most prevalent joint disorder associated with aging, is characterized by impaired extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and the degradation of articular cartilage. It is ...

Researchers at Nagoya Institute of Technology and Gdańsk University developed a new sound-based method to measure tissue stiffness, an important indicator of diseases They discovered a strong link ...

Schematic diagram depicting the mechanism of the rigid matrix regulating cell glycolysis in degenerated NPCs. In degenerated NP tissue, MRTF-A was activated by increased matrix stiffness and ...
