Computational predictions of the tensile properties of electrospun fibre meshes: Effect of fibre diameter and fibre orientation
(2008)The mechanical properties of biomaterial scaffolds are crucial for their efficacy in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. At the microscopic scale, the scaffold must be sufficiently rigid to support cell adhesion, ...

Article
The Solid Mechanics of Cancer and Strategies for Improved Therapy
(2017)Tumor progression and response to treatment is determined in large part by the generation of mechanical stresses that stem from both the solid and the fluid phase of the tumor. Furthermore, elevated solid stress levels can ...
