Flexible PCL tube scaffolds by winding of micro-extruded filaments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
An important requirement for tissue engineering scaffolds is matching of the functional me-chanical properties to their natural tissue counterpart. Specifically for arteries this comprises the elastic re-sponse of the vessel wall to blood pressure. Human

Osteoarthritis severely decreases the elasticity and hardness of knee joint cartilage: A nanoindentation study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The nanoindentation method was applied to determine the elastic modulus and hardness of knee articular cartilage. Cartilage samples from both high weight bearing (HWB) and low weight bearing (LWB) femoral condyles were collected from patients diagnosed ...

Successful treatment of a multifocal comminuted open fracture of humerus with severe soft tissue defect: a case report

open access: yesJournal of Medical Case Reports, 2023
Background Choosing the appropriate treatment approach for a multifocal comminuted open fracture of humerus with severe soft tissue defect is a challenging issue, which could be interesting for every orthopedic surgeon especially for those working in the

Quantifying perception of nonlinear elastic tissue models using multidimensional scaling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Simplified soft tissue models used in surgical simulations cannot perfectly reproduce all material behaviors. In particular, many tissues exhibit the Poynting effect, which results in normal forces during shearing of tissue and is only observed in ...

Nanoindentation of bone: Comparison of specimens tested in liquid and embedded in polymethylmethacrylate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Elastic modulus of bone was investigated by nanoindentation using common methods of sample preparation, data collection, and analysis, and compared to dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA: three-point bending) for the same samples. Nanoindentation (Berkovich,

Deep Learning for High Speed Optical Coherence Elastography

open access: yes, 2020
Mechanical properties of tissue provide valuable information for identifying lesions. One approach to obtain quantitative estimates of elastic properties is shear wave elastography with optical coherence elastography (OCE).

Can a continuous mineral foam explain the stiffening of aged bone tissue? A micromechanical approach to mineral fusion in musculoskeletal tissues [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Recent experimental data revealed a stiffening of aged cortical bone tissue, which could not be explained by common multiscale elastic material models.

In vitro elastic cartilage reconstruction using human auricular perichondrial chondroprogenitor cell–derived micro 3D spheroids

open access: yesJournal of Tissue Engineering, 2022
Morphologically stable scaffold-free elastic cartilage tissue is crucial for treating external ear abnormalities. However, establishing adequate mechanical strength is challenging, owing to the difficulty of achieving chondrogenic differentiation in ...

Fibulin-4 is essential for maintaining arterial wall integrity in conduit but not muscular arteries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in fibulin-4 (FBLN4) lead to autosomal recessive cutis laxa type 1B (ARCL1B), a multisystem disorder characterized by significant cardiovascular abnormalities, including abnormal elastin assembly, arterial ...

Tissue elasticity and the ageing elastic fibre [PDF]

open access: yesAGE, 2009
The ability of elastic tissues to deform under physiological forces and to subsequently release stored energy to drive passive recoil is vital to the function of many dynamic tissues. Within vertebrates, elastic fibres allow arteries and lungs to expand and contract, thus controlling variations in blood pressure and returning the pulmonary system to a ...
