Article Abstract
MR elastography is a non-invasive imaging technique that provides quantitative maps of tissue biomechanical properties, i.e., elasticity and viscosity. Currently, hepatic MR elastography is deployed in the clinic to assess liver fibrosis in MAFLD patients. In addition, research has demonstrated MR elastography's ability to non-invasively assess chronic liver disease and to characterize breast cancer lesions and brain tumors. MR elastography requires efficient mechanical wave generation and penetration, motion-sensitized MRI sequences, and MR elastography inversion algorithms to retrieve the biomechanical properties of the tissue. MR elastography promises to enable non-invasive and versatile assessment of tissue, leading to better diagnosis and staging of several clinical conditions.

Human gastroids to model regional patterning in early stomach development.
Nature

Institute of Biomechanics and Medical Engineering, Applied Mechanics Laboratory, Department of Engineering Mechanics, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.
The human stomach features distinct, regionalized functionalities along the anterior-posterior axis. Historically, studies on stomach patterning have used animal models to identify the underlying principles. Recently, human pluripotent stem (hPS)-cell-based gastric organoids for modelling domain-specific development of the fundic and antral epithelium are emerging.

Statement Of Problem: Although custom temporomandibular joint (TMJ) prostheses manufactured via computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD-CAM) and produced through 3-dimensional (3D) printing or computer numerical control (CNC) allow for sagittal curvature adjustments in the glenoid fossa, their design remains unregulated by the Food and Drug Administration. Consequently, the geometry is determined largely by the engineer's discretion, with limited biomechanical evidence to guide these decisions. The lack of validation regarding how sagittal curvature influences joint stress distribution under various anatomical and functional conditions represents a gap in current knowledge that warrants investigation.

Objective: We designed a new distractor pairing a bioabsorbable upper fixing plate fixed by bioabsorbable screws with a traditional titanium distractor to simplify the second surgery removing the distractor after mandibular distraction osteogenesis. The present study aims to evaluate its biomechanical properties using finite element method.
Materials And Methods: Ten computer-aided designed models simulating mandibles of 5 patients under 2 working conditions, the instance of distraction and mastication, were produced.
In silico biophysics and rheology of blood and red blood cells in Gaucher Disease.

Gaucher Disease (GD) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a deficiency in the enzyme glucocerebrosidase, leading to the accumulation of glucosylceramide in various cells, including red blood cells (RBCs). This accumulation results in altered biomechanical properties and rheological behavior of RBCs, which may play an important role in blood rheology and the development of bone infarcts, avascular necrosis (AVN) and other bone diseases associated with GD. In this study, dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations are employed to investigate the biomechanics and rheology of blood and RBCs in GD under various flow conditions.

Objective: Due to its inherent high instability, the selection of fixation strategies for unilateral Denis type II sacral fractures remains a controversial challenge in the field of traumatic orthopedics. This study focuses on unilateral Denis type II sacral fractures. By applying three different fixation methods, it aims to explore their biomechanical properties and provide a theoretical basis for optimizing clinical fixation protocols.
