Buckling without bending: a new paradigm in morphogenesis
T. A. Engstrom, Teng Zhang, A. K. Lawton +2
A curious feature of organ and organoid morphogenesis is that in certain cases, spatial oscillations in the thickness of the growing "film" are out-of-phase with the deformation of…

Compression stiffening in biological tissues: on the possibility of classic elasticity origins
T. A. Engstrom, K. Pogoda, K. Cruz +2
Compression stiffening, or an increase in shear modulus with increasing compressive strain, has been observed in recent rheometry experiments on brain, liver, and fat tissues. Here…
