Abstract

Biological systems are subjected to moderate-to-high strain rates in blast-type traumatic injuries. An improved understanding of the responses of cells and tissues to extreme mechanical stresses could improve mitigation and post-injury treatment strategies. A key aim of this research is to create bi...
