Bioinspired Hydrogels with Broadly Programmable Mechanics for Soft‐Tissue Interfaces

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Sea cucumber‐inspired gelatin hydrogels are formed by directional freezing and mechanically programmed through subsequent ionic treatment. Multiscale characterization and modeling link ion‐regulated chain interactions to directional load transfer within the aligned hierarchical architecture.

Evaluation of the knee joint with ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging

Journal of Ultrasonography, 2023
The knee joint relies on a combination of deep and superficial structures for stability and function. Both ultrasound and high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging are extremely useful in evaluating these structures and associated pathology.

Full‐Field Damage Monitoring in Architected Lattices Using In situ Electrical Impedance Tomography

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In situ electrical impedance tomography (EIT) turns 3D‐printed, CNT‐infused architected lattices into full‐field damage‐imaging systems. Tunable Voronoi‐based geometries act as active sensing architectures, enabling conductivity maps to detect early‐stage damage and localise sequential ligament fracture before catastrophic failure.

An Abnormal Fixation of Falciform Ligament Discovered Incidentally During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Factor of Difficult Laparoscopy

Oman Medical Journal
Surgeons need to be aware of the clinical significance of congenital abnormalities and anomalies in the human body. The largest organ in the digestive system is the liver, which is supported by various peritoneal folds called ligaments.

Mechanics of Telson Ridges in Mantis Shrimp for Impact Analysis and Implications for Bioinspired Elastic Shell Designs

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The mantis shrimp telson reveals how ridged biological shields control deformation under impact. Inspired by this architecture, telson‐inspired ridged curved shells transform ridge geometry and macroscopic curvature into bidirectional snap‐through, tunable stiffness, and enhanced hysteretic energy dissipation for multifunctional architected materials ...

Does Collagen Supplementation Support Musculoskeletal Recovery? A Narrative Review of Tendom, Ligament and Muscle Adaptation

Journal of Education, Health and Sport
Introduction and aim: Collagen accounts for ~1/3 of body protein and forms the structural core of tendons, ligaments, and skeletal muscle extracellular matrix (ECM). Oral hydrolyzed collagen or collagen peptide (CP) supplementation has gained popularity,

Intracrystalline Void‐Mediated Toughening of Brittle Crystals in Quail Eggshells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In quail eggshells, the high density and disordered arrangement of intracrystalline voids inhibit lattice cleavage, suppress long‐range crack propagation, and promote deformation twinning and quasi‐plasticity, serving as an essential toughening motif. We show that these voids remain within a narrow subcritical size range and therefore predominantly do ...

Single‐Cell Resolution Mapping of Osteoarthritis‐Associated Chondrocyte Dynamics Using a High‐Density CMOS MEA Platform

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Single‐cell and spatially resolved impedance mapping using a high‐density CMOS‐MEA platform enables non‐invasive monitoring of osteoarthritis‐associated chondrocyte dynamics. Continuous label‐free measurements reveal heterogeneous remodeling behaviors, including proliferation, migration, and phenotypic transitions, establishing a powerful approach for ...

MYOMA OF THE ROUND LIGAMENT MIMICKING THE CLINICAL APPEARANCE OF THE INGUINAL HERNIA – A CASE REPORT

Zdravniški Vestnik, 2004
Background. Myomas are the most frequent gynecological tumors. They first occur during puberty; however, they are most frequent among aged between 35 and 50. In this age group their incidence is 15–20%. They are rare after menopause.
