Microstructural deformation observed by Mueller polarimetry during traction assay on myocardium samples

Abstract Despite recent advances, the myocardial microstructure remains imperfectly understood. In particular, bundles of cardiomyocytes have been observed but their three-dimensional organisation remains debated and the associated mechanical consequences unknown. One of the major challenges remains...
