An integrated set-up for ex vivo characterisation of biaxial murine artery biomechanics under pulsatile conditions

Abstract Ex vivo characterisation of arterial biomechanics enables detailed discrimination of the various cellular and extracellular contributions to arterial stiffness. However, ex vivo biomechanical studies are commonly performed under quasi-static conditions, whereas dynamic biomechanical behavio...
