Tumours become less stiff when cells begin to die, so measuring tissue stiffness could show when cancer is responding to treatment. They found that after drug treatment, elastography showed a marked ...

A high Young's modulus indicates a stiff material that resists deformation, while a low modulus characterizes a soft material that is easily deformed. In the field of biomaterials and tissue ...

Also, the manipulation of the fascia—the connective tissue surrounding muscles—helps release restrictions that may cause discomfort or stiffness. Muscle scraping is known to reduce inflammation, which ...

On soft surfaces similar to healthy tissue, both cell types move slowly in random directions. But on stiff surfaces, which mimic the tough, scarred tissue around tumors, the cells are more ...
