Biomechanics of mitral valve leaflets: Second harmonic generation microscopy, biaxial mechanical tests and tissue modeling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Collagen fibers are the main load carrier in the mitral valve (MV) leaflets. Their orientation and dispersion are an important factor for the mechanical behavior. Most recent studies of collagen fibers in MVs lack either ... -
Integration of polarized spatial frequency domain imaging (pSFDI) with a biaxial mechanical testing system for quantification of load-dependent collagen architecture in soft collagenous tissues
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Collagen fiber networks provide the structural strength of tissues, such as tendons, skin and arteries. Quantifying the fiber architecture in response to mechanical loads is essential towards a better understanding of the ... -
Mechanical behavior and collagen structure of degenerative mitral valve leaflets and a finite element model of primary mitral regurgitation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Degenerative mitral valve disease is the main cause of primary mitral regurgitation with two phenotypes: fibroelastic deficiency (FED) often with localized myxomatous degeneration and diffuse myxomatous degeneration or ... -
Towards microstructure-informed material models for human brain tissue
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Emerging evidence suggests that the mechanical behavior of the brain plays a critical role in development, disease, and aging. Recent studies have begun to characterize the mechanical behavior of gray and white matter ...
