Biomechanical Testing of Human Uterine and Cervical Tissues – Literature Review Dataset

Abstract

This dataset compiles peer-reviewed studies reporting experimental ex vivo biomechanical tests of human uterine and cervical tissues across reproductive states. It is intended as a reusable reference for academic applications. Users should still consult original publications for detailed methodology and interpretation. This dataset accompanies the following book chapter (in press): Louwagie, E. and Fodera, D. (2026) Biomechanics of the Uterus and Cervix Across Pregnancy and Disease: Considerations for Biomaterial Design. In: Biomaterials for Women’s Health Engineering. Springer Nature
