This study evaluated the hypothesis that, due to functional and structural differences, the
apparent elastic modulus and viscous behavior of cardiac and skeletal muscle and vascular …

The effect of differentiation on the transverse mechanical properties of mammalian myocytes
was determined by using atomic force microscopy. The apparent elastic modulus increased …

This report uses normal rat subcutis as a reference point to provide a quantitative analysis of
small analyte transport through the tissue which encapsulates implants. Polyvinyl alcohol (…

10.7554/eLife.04885.001 Existing in vitro models of human skeletal muscle cannot recapitulate
the organization and function of native muscle, limiting their use in physiological and …

This paper describes the combined use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and total internal
reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) to examine the transmission of force from the …

Intimal thickening due to atherosclerotic lesions or intimal hyperplasia in medium to large
blood vessels is a major contributor to heart disease, the leading cause of death in the Western …

The effect of surface hydrophobicity upon the conformation of the cell binding domain of
fibronectin (Fn) and the influence of Fn conformation on bovine aortic endothelial cell (BAEC) …

The move from reading to writing the human genome offers new opportunities to improve
human health. The United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) Somatic Cell Genome …

This study assesses the plasma–tissue exchange characteristics of the capsular tissue that
forms around implants and how they are affected by implant porosity. The number of vessels …
