Hi H-B,<div><br></div><div>My colleague says values range from about 1.5 kPa to 2.5 kPa for both human and bovine healthy liver tissue. But cirrhotic livers could get up to 40 kPa.</div><div><br></div><div>The properties of other tissues should be not that hard to find with a search on PubMed. A good general reference on the topic is Fung's Biomechanics:</div>

<div> </div>
<div>I highly appreciate your kindness. I f values of kidney, gallbladder, and vessel are avalable it would be very helpfull for me. But if it is not available, there is no problem I will find it through earch.</div>

<div>I have anoter question, is the bovine tissues like human tissues?<br></div><div class="hm">

<div>Yes, that looks to be correct. I actually have a colleague in my lab that makes mechanical measurements of the liver. If I recall correctly, he gets approximately 2 kPa for healthy bovine liver -- the same value that you have found. I can ask for certain on Monday if you need confirmation.</div>
