Abstract
Since the days of Hippocrates, it has been recognized that tissue mechanical properties can play a key role in the diagnosis and understanding of many diseases. For example, in cancer, the stromal response associated with tumor progression often results in stiffening of tissue surrounding tumor cells. In cardiovascular disease, atherosclerotic plaque mechanics are linked to plaque rupture.
