Another highlight of today's sessions at the #euromech colloquium on soft tissue mechanics: @1Hannis lecture on Achilles tendon mechanics and mechanobiology
Grace O'Connel using an new lamellar based model of the intervertebral disc to explain why experimental disc failure is different to clinically observed disc failure.

Christian Cyron presenting on homeostatic stress in soft tissue in a bioreactor with biaxial loading:
More collagen and higher cell density lead to a higher homeostatic stresss.
Mech. homeostasis can be restored after perturbation.
Integrin catch-slip bonds are important.

Christopher Blase presenting work of our group on the use 4D ultrasound to map arterial wall properties in vivo at the #euromech colloquium on current challenges in soft tissue mechanics.
The program of the euromech colloquium "Current Challenges in Soft Tissue Mechanics" (6.-8.4.22, Franhfurt/Main, Germany) is online: https://t.co/F402X9zgZf I am looking forward to great talks and discussions!
We are organizing a #euromech colloquium in Frankfurt 6-8 April 2022 on #soft#tissue#mechanics. Outstanding invited speakers: https://t.co/r3l4q0FZY4. It is still possible to submit abstracts. Join us in Frankfurt!
