Dynamic stiffness analysis provides a frequency-dependent characterisation of structural rigidity by establishing exact relationships between forces and displacements in vibrating systems. Unlike ...

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 ...

A recent study led by Stanford School of Medicine researchers suggests that extracellular matrix effects on the phenotypic modulation of endothelial cells play a critical role in atherosclerosis, a ...

Background Regular aerobic exercise prevents and reverses arterial stiffening, but the association between resistance training and arterial stiffness is unclear. Aim This study was performed to ...
