Mashup Score: 0The effect of intramuscular fat on skeletal muscle mechanics: implications for the elderly and obese | Journal of The Royal Society Interface - 1 year(s) ago
Skeletal muscle accumulates intramuscular fat through age and obesity. Muscle quality, a measure of muscle strength per unit size, decreases in these conditions. It is not clear how fat influences this loss in performance. Changes to structural parameters …

Mashup Score: 16In vivo measurement of human brain material properties under quasi-static loading | Journal of The Royal Society Interface - 1 year(s) ago
Computational modelling of the brain requires accurate representation of the tissues concerned. Mechanical testing has numerous challenges, in particular for low strain rates, like neurosurgery, where redistribution of fluid is biomechanically important. …
