Congratulations to Dave and to our collaborator Tony Donato for acceptance of our paper entitled “Cerebrovascular dysfunction following subfailure axial stretch” for publication in the Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials! This paper reports experiments showing that smooth muscle contractile response is altered by sub-failure axial overstretch. This suggests that tissue deformation during...
