Poynting effect of brain matter in torsion
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-06-13)
We investigate experimentally and model theoretically the mechanical behaviour of brain matter in torsion. Using a strain-controlled rheometer, we perform torsion tests on fresh porcine brain samples. We quantify the torque ...
Mechanics of human brain organoids
(American Physical Society, 2020-01-02)
Organoids are prototypes of human organs derived from cultured human stem cells. They provide a reliable and accurate experimental model to study the physical mechanisms underlying the early developmental stages of human ...
