Soft biological shells in bioengineering /

Soft Biological Shells in Bioengineeringintegrates existing experimental data to construct multiscale models of various organs of the human body--the stomach, gravid uterus, urinary bladder, the small and large intestine. These models are used asin silicoplatforms to study intricate physiological an...
