Mechanobiology of fibrotic-related diseases
Fibrotic diseases and tumor-associated fibrosis constitute a worldwide health problem that, together, are responsible for enormous morbidity and mortality. Approximately 1 in 8 people worldwide suffer from fibrotic-related diseases. Optics11 Life Nanoindenters emerge as a powerful method of mechanical characterization of fibrotic tissues.
Published articles (2022) endorse Optics11 Life’s unique technology
Studies on the mechanobiology of cells, spheroids, organoids, tissues, and biomaterials are developing rapidly using our Chiaro, Piuma, and Pavone Nanoindenters. More than 400 publications have cited Optics11 Life Nanoindenters in leading scientific journals.
