This study investigates the mechanisms of right ventricular stiffening in pulmonary hypertension using a large animal model, finding that myocardial stiffness is the primary contributor.

This study investigates age- and sex-dependent changes in skin mechanics in mice using mechanical testing, histology, collagen assays, and two-photon microscopy, revealing sex differences in stiffness that emerge with age.

This paper develops an in-vitro thrombus mimic from whole blood and tests its mechanical behavior under simple shear, finding strain-stiffening and the Ogden model provides the best fit.
