New Book

The book, “Advances in Heart Valve Biomechanics: Valvular Physiology, Mechanobiology, and Bioengineering,” published by Springer, looks at the latest innovations in heart valve biomechanics and bioengineering, emphasizing experimentation, computational simulation, and applications in heart valve bioengineering. It discusses research in topics such as valvular viscoelasticity, fibril/molecular mechanisms of tissue behavior, fibril kinematics-based constitutive models, mechano-interaction of valvular interstitial and endothelial cells, biomechanical behavior of acellular valves and tissue engineered valves, novel bioreactor designs, biomechanics of transcatheter valves and 3D heart valve printing. It can also be purchased through Amazon.

Jun Liao, an associate professor of bioengineering at The University of Texas at Arlington, is co-editor of a recently released book on the latest research developments in heart valve biomechanics and bioengineering.
