5 Tissue Mechanics Challenge: Understand the development of mechanical properties in soft networks across multiple length scales. Goal: Develop quantitative technique for synthetic and biological materials (in vitro and in vivo). Objective: Make measurement at arbitrary locations and on biologically relevant length scales ( m) Blood Brain Muscle Collagenous Bone fluid ka 0 ka 00 ka Most knowledge from extracted tissue What can we learn from studying tissues in their native state?
