Mechanical characterization, modeling, and examination of a muscular intracranial and elastic extracranial artery with an emphasis on microstructure, residual stress, and smooth muscle cell activation
Cerebrovascular disease continues to be responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. There is a pressing need to better understand the biomechanics of both intracranial arteries and the extracranial arteries that feed these vessels. Histology and immunohistochemistry were performed on basil...
