Specialisation of extracellular matrix for function in tendons and ligaments.

Muscles Ligaments and Tendons Journal, 2013
Tendons and ligaments are similar structures in terms of their composition, organisation and mechanical properties. The distinction between them stems from their anatomical location; tendons form a link between muscle and bone while ligaments link bones ...

Simplified modelling of chiral lattice materials with local resonators [PDF]

, 2015
A simplified model of periodic chiral beam-lattices containing local resonators has been formulated to obtain a better understanding of the influence of the chirality and of the dynamic characteristics of the local resonators on the acoustic behavior ...

3D Bioprinting of Thick Adipose Tissues with Integrated Vascular Hierarchies

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.
An advanced 3D bioprinting technique is used here to create thick adipose tissues with a central, vessel and extensive branching. The construct is made using alginate, gelatin and collagen‐based bioinks. Flow through the complex vessel network is demonstrated as well as its successful integration with a femoral artery following implantation in a rat ...

Analytical One-Dimensional Model of Drop Ejection from a Micro-Size Nozzle [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
In this article, we construct a novel one-dimensional model of drop ejection from a micro-size nozzle due to a short pressure pulse applied to the liquid in the nozzle. The pressure pulse supplies the kinetic energy to the perturbed liquid-bulge squeezed from the nozzle, which then ballistically lengthens forming a ligament.

Ultrasound of the wrist ligaments [PDF]

, 2011
Injuries of the intrinsic and extrinsic wrist ligaments can lead to chronic wrist pain and carpal instability, while injuries of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) are a frequent cause of ulnar-sided wrist pain.

Creation of Three-Dimensional Solid-State Models of a Spine with Transpedicular Fixation Using a Specialized Software [PDF]

Известия Саратовского университета. Новая серия. Серия Математика. Механика. Информатика, 2019
Biomechanical experiments are widely used to study the mechanical characteristics of spinal elements under various types of loading. The correct construction of three-dimensional models is especially important for studying the behavior of the spine after

Time‐Controlled Dual Targeting to Program Systemic and Intercellular Transfer of Therapeutic Effects

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Aspirin‐liposomes loaded onto monocytes enable inflammation‐triggered targeting and efficient hand‐over of aspirin to inflamed cells. Monocytes uptake a significant portion of aspirin‐liposomes, prolonging therapeutic action. This approach enhances anti‐inflammatory effects through intercellular transfer, demonstrating a translational strategy for ...

Articular contact in a three-dimensional model of the knee [PDF]

, 1991
This study is aimed at the analysis of articular contact in a three-dimensional mathematical model of the human knee-joint. In particular the effect of articular contact on the passive motion characteristics is assessed in relation to experimentally ...

Intraoral Drug Delivery: Bridging the Gap Between Academic Research and Industrial Innovations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Intraoral drug delivery offers a promising route for systemic and localized therapies, yet challenges such as enzymatic degradation, limited permeability, and microbial interactions hinder efficacy. This figure highlights innovative strategies—mucoadhesive materials, enzyme inhibitors, and permeation enhancers—to overcome these barriers.

Steering in-plane shear waves with inertial resonators in platonic crystals

, 2015
Numerical simulations shed light on control of shear elastic wave propagation in plates structured with inertial resonators. The structural element is composed of a heavy core connected to the main freestanding plate through tiny ligaments.
