    • Mechanics of human brain organoids 

      Balbi, Valentina; Destrade, Michel; Goriely, Alain (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 ...

    • Noninvasive measurement of local stress inside soft materials with programmed shear waves 

      Zhang, Zhaoyi; Li, Guo-Yang; Jiang, Yuxuan; Zheng, Yang; Gower, Artur L.; Destrade, Michel; Cao, Yanping (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2023-03-08)
      Mechanical stresses across different length scales play a fundamental role in understanding biological systems¿ functions and engineering soft machines and devices. However, it is challenging to noninvasively probe local ...

    • Poynting effect of brain matter in torsion 

      Balbi, Valentina; Trotta, Antonia; Destrade, Michel; Annaidh, Aisling Ni (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 ...
