Example sentence:
A microelectrode or semi-microelectrode sometimes exerts a shearing force on adjacent brain tissue. Specifically, it drags tissue along with it as it advances.

Rachel Douglas
: Sort of. But it might work better to keep "tissue" as the subject of a passive clause: "... is somewhat flabby and gets pulled along after the knife."

: What a helluva link, even by your standards: (1) It has no text you're citing an (2) it's called ‘The Imagined Underworld: Sex, Crime, and Vice in Porfirian Mexico City’ by James Alex Garza, no less.//Nope, except that knives can't pull. Or so I think. :)
