Development of a Mechanical Testing Assay for Fibrotic Murine Liver
Hepatic fibrosis is a progressive disease in which progression is correlated to liver mechanical properties. This correlation may be used to assess the state of the disease, and hence methods to determine the elastic modulus of the liver are of considerable interest. In order to assess the diseased...
