This paper develops a dynamic biaxial pressure myograph with two-photon microscopy to study arterial biomechanics and microstructure under physiological conditions in mice.

The study compares two ex vivo setups for measuring aortic stiffness in aged mice, finding method-specific differences in stiffness parameters and smooth muscle cell effects.

This paper identifies unstable behaviors in active stress models of vascular smooth muscle cell contraction using limited and extensive experimental data.

This study evaluates flash freezing as a method for preserving rat abdominal aortas for delayed biomechanical testing, finding it suitable for passive biomechanics with some structural changes.
