Combining in silico and in vitro experiments to characterize the role of fascicle twist in the Achilles tendon

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
The Achilles tendon (AT), the largest tendon in the human body has a unique structural feature, that is the fascicles in the AT display spiral twist. However, their functional and structural roles are still unclear. We used subject-specific computational

From In‐Silico Optimized Microfabrication to Experimental Validation: Engineering a Tridimensional Epi‐Intraneural Interface

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An epi‐intraneural interface is developed through in silico optimization and a novel tridimensional microfabrication pipeline. The device integrates penetrating and epineural contacts on a flexible substrate. Mechanical, electrochemical, and in vivo testing in rat and pig reveal robust implantation, low‐threshold activation, and site‐dependent ...

Ultra‐Thin Soft Pneumatic Actuation for Minimally Invasive Neural Interfacing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Parylene C is a common polymer in bioelectronics, favored for its biological and chemical inertness. However, this makes bonding layers of Parylene C together very challenging. Here it is a laser to selectively weld layers of Parylene C to create high‐pressure fluidic actuation devices.

Popliteomeniscal Fascicle Tear: Diagnosis and Operative Technique

open access: yesArthroscopy Techniques, 2012
The occurrence and the consistency of the popliteomeniscal fascicle between the popliteus tendon and the lateral meniscus have been the subject of debate. It is difficult to diagnose and treat popliteomeniscal fascicle tears.

Skeletal muscle fascicle arrangements can be reconstructed using a Laplacian vector field simulation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Skeletal muscles are characterized by a large diversity in anatomical architecture and function. Muscle force and contraction are generated by contractile fiber cells grouped in fascicle bundles, which transmit the mechanical action between origin and ...
