TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared fractional and integer order models to describe the viscoelastic properties of soft biological tissue-like materials under harmonic mechanical loading, and found that fractional order models can represent the more complicated rate dependency of material behavior of biological tissues over a broad spectral range.

TL;DR: Microscopic MRE was applied to agarose gel phantoms, frog oocytes, and tissue‐engineered adipogenic and osteogenic constructs, enabling its use in characterizing stiffer materials and assessing with high resolution the mechanical properties of developing tissues.

TL;DR: A potential relationship between the associated turbulence-induced vein-wall vibration and the development of intimal hyperplasia in arteriovenous grafts is suggested.

TL;DR: Statistical analyses performed using analysis of variance revealed that pulsed ultrasound enhanced bone formation at the distraction site with a high level of significance when assessed by the increase in new bone photodensity, vibratory coherence, mechanical stiffness, and qualitative histological studies, especially when the pulsing ultrasound treatment was directly applied daily.

TL;DR: This study examines a soft tissue mimicking phantom material (Ecoflex) over a wide frequency range (200 Hz to 7.75 kHz) and highlights the advantages of measuring the complex‐valued shear modulus over as wide a range of frequencies as possible.
