Bridging the gap between the nano- and the macro-scale:

Uncovering the mechanical secrets of biological tissues and materials

Unlock the full potential of your tissue engineering and biomaterials research with Optics11 Life’s latest case study. Dive into the innovative work of the Solid and Fluid Biomechanics Group at Politecnico di Torino, led by Prof. Alberto Audenino, featuring insights from Associate Professor Diana Massai and Postdoctoral Researcher Gianpaolo Serino.

In this compelling case study, you will explore:

  • The integration of the Piuma nanoindenter in advanced biomechanics research.
  • How the team bridges the gap between macro-scale and nano-scale characterizations.
  • Real-world applications, including the development of scaffolds, the study of tumor cell mechanobiology, and the testing of ophthalmic drugs on contact lenses.

Discover how the Piuma nanoindenter is revolutionizing the study of soft tissues and biomaterials, providing unparalleled insights and capabilities that traditional methods cannot achieve. This essential resource is perfect for researchers, biomedical companies, and anyone involved in tissue engineering and biomechanics.
