articleOpen access1st authorSuccessful detection and prevention of brain injuries relies on the quantitative identification of cellular injury thresholds associated with the underlying pathology. Here, by combining a recently developed inertial microcavitation rheology technique with a 3D in vitro neural tissue model, we quantify and resolve the structural pathology and critical injury strain thresholds of neural cells occurring at high loading rates such as encountered in blast, cavitation or directed energy exposures. We…

articleOpen accessAcoustic droplet vaporization (ADV) offers a dynamic approach for generating bubbles on demand, presenting new possibilities in biomedical applications. Although ADV has been investigated in various biomedical applications, its potential in tissue characterization remains unexplored. Here, we investigated the effects of surrounding media on the radial dynamics and acoustic emissions of ADV bubbles using theoretical and experimental methodologies. For theoretical studies, bubble dynamics were com…
