DOI: 10.1007/s13239-021-00544-9
Abstract: BACKGROUND Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are major causes of mortality in developing countries. One of the challenges during CVDs studies is the creation of a damaged model of the heart. Many injured models of cardiac diseases… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2018.07.010
Abstract: According to the Weibull theory for brittle materials, the mean experimental strength decreases with test specimen size. For the brittle parts of an organism this would mean that becoming larger in size results automatically in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2020.04.054
Abstract: Biological materials tested in compression, tension, and impact inspire designs for strong and tough materials, but torsion is a relatively neglected loading mode. The wood skeletons of cholla cacti, subject to spartan desert conditions and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijmecsci.2016.12.003
Abstract: Abstract Load-bearing biological materials, such as bone and nacre, exhibit superior mechanical properties to support and/or protect biological functionalities. To achieve this, an important ability of such materials is to effectively shield external dynamic impacts.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0217084
Abstract: Taxonomic identification of biological materials can be achieved through DNA barcoding, where an unknown “barcode” sequence is compared to a reference database. In many disciplines, obtaining accurate taxonomic identifications can be imperative (e.g., evolutionary biology,… read more here.
