Rapid flapping and fiber-reinforced membrane wings are key to high-performance bat flight

This study shows that high-performance bat flight relies on rapid flapping and fiber-reinforced membrane wings, with specific kinematic and structural adaptations enhancing aerodynamic efficiency.

Micromechanical homogenisation of a hydrogel-filled electrospun scaffold for tissue-engineered epicardial patching of the infarcted heart

This paper uses homogenization techniques to model the mechanical properties of a hydrogel-filled scaffold for cardiac tissue engineering and predicts its impact on ventricular function.

Tissue ingrowth markedly reduces mechanical anisotropy and stiffness in fibre direction of highly aligned electrospun polyurethane scaffolds

This study examines how tissue ingrowth affects the mechanical properties of electrospun polyurethane scaffolds, finding reduced stiffness in the fiber direction and increased stiffness transversely.

Electrospun polyester-urethane scaffold preserves mechanical properties and exhibits strain stiffening during in situ tissue ingrowth and degradation

This study compares biostable and degradable electrospun polyester-urethane scaffolds, showing that the degradable scaffold maintains consistent mechanical properties after 14 days of in vivo implantation.
