Congratulations to Noah for getting his paper entitled “A strain-rate dependent constitutive model for Göttingen minipig cerebral arteries” published in the Journal of Biomechanical Engineering! This paper shows that Göttingen minipig cerebral arteries are rate dependent and proposes a model for use in computational models of head injury that account for the vasculature. See the publications...

Congratulations to Matt and Kevin for getting their paper entitled “Stretch-induced intimal failure in isolated cerebral arteries as a function of development” published in Annals of Biomedical Engineering! This paper shows that the intimal layer of cerebral arteries commonly ruptures prior to external layers and may have significant implications for vessel dysfunction following traumatic brain...

Congratulations to Matt for getting his paper entitled “Biaxial softening of isolated cerebral arteries following axial overstretch” accepted for publication at the Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials. This paper quantifies changes in circumferential properties following overstretch. See the publications page for more details....

Congratulations to Matt and co-authors for acceptance of our paper entitled “Detection and characterization of molecular-level collagen damage in overstretched cerebral arteries” for publication in Acta Biomaterialia! This paper reports the first identification and quantification of collagen damage in blood vessels following overstretch using the novel collagen hybridizing peptide (CHP) invented by the Michael Yu laboratory...

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...
