Biofabrication of Electrospun Scaffolds for the Regeneration of Tendons and Ligaments
Tendon and ligament tissue regeneration and replacement are complex since scaffolds need to guarantee an adequate hierarchical structured morphology, and non-linear mechanical properties.

Elastic constants of 3-, 4- and 6-connected chiral and anti-chiral honeycombs subject to uniaxial in-plane loading [PDF]
Finite Element models are developed for the in-plane linear elastic constants of a family of honeycombs comprising arrays of cylinders connected by ligaments. Honeycombs having cylinders with 3, 4 and 6 ligaments attached to them are considered, with two

Treatment of Ligament Constructs with Exercise-conditioned Serum: A Translational Tissue Engineering Model. [PDF]
In vitro experiments are essential to understand biological mechanisms; however, the gap between monolayer tissue culture and human physiology is large, and translation of findings is often poor.

Musculoskeletal Model Development of the Elbow Joint with an Experimental Evaluation
A dynamic musculoskeletal model of the elbow joint in which muscle, ligament, and articular surface contact forces are predicted concurrently would be an ideal tool for patient-specific preoperative planning, computer-aided surgery, and rehabilitation ...

Multiscale hierarchical bioresorbable scaffolds for the regeneration of tendons and ligaments
Lesions of tendons and ligaments account for over 40% of the musculoskeletal lesions. Surgical techniques and materials for repair and regeneration are currently not satisfactory.

Tissue Engineering for Periodontal Ligament Regeneration: Biomechanical Specifications [PDF]
The periodontal biomechanical environment is very difficult to investigate. By the complex geometry and composition of the periodontal ligament, its mechanical behavior is very dependent on the type of loading (compressive vs. tensile loading; static vs. cyclic loading; uniaxial vs.

Morphology of the transverse ligament of the atlas and the alar ligaments in the silver fox (Vulpes vulpes var) [PDF]
Background Recent new anatomical and histological features of craniocervical junction in dogs and cats were described providing evidence of differences between the carnivore species. No information on these structures in foxes exists.
