Biomechanical Characterization of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: The Rupture Mechanism

Biomechanical Characterization of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: The Rupture Mechanism

In this work, a four-week-old male C57Bl/6 mouse model of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) was developed to examine the AAA rupture mechanism. Immunofluorescence staining was adopted for quantifying the degradation of elastin, and Picrosirius Red staining was adopted for evaluating the density of col...
