The uterus has critical biomechanical functions in pregnancy and undergoes dramatic material growth and remodeling from implantation to parturition. The intrinsic material properties of the human uterus and how they evolve in pregnancy are …

Medical conditions that primarily or disproportionately affect women have historically been poorly studied. In contrast to the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems, there is no lengthy record of biomaterials research addressing women'…

The application of engineering tools and techniques to studying women's health, including biomaterials-based approaches, is a research field experiencing robust growth. Biomaterials are natural or synthetic materials used to repair or repla…

This theme issue of Interface Focus is the first of two sets of articles on the topic of bioengineering in women's health. Although there is a long history of collaboration between engineers and medical professionals in orthopaedics and car…
