This study investigates age- and sex-dependent changes in skin mechanics in mice using mechanical testing, histology, collagen assays, and two-photon microscopy, revealing sex differences in stiffness that emerge with age.

This study experimentally investigates the thermo-mechanical behavior of skin under heat, revealing anisotropic shrinkage and force generation during collagen denaturation.

This paper tests two models of skin thermo-mechanics to explain how skin responds to superphysiological temperatures by linking collagen denaturation to mechanical behavior.

This study shows tricuspid valves maladapt in a sheep model of heart failure, leading to structural and mechanical changes that may contribute to tricuspid regurgitation.
