Cell-Based Strategies for Meniscus Tissue Engineering

open access: yesStem Cells International, 2016
Meniscus injuries remain a significant challenge due to the poor healing potential of the inner avascular zone. Following a series of studies and clinical trials, tissue engineering is considered a promising prospect for meniscus repair and regeneration.

The role of meniscal repair for prevention of early onset of osteoarthritis

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Orthopaedics, 2018
Background The meniscus plays an important role in the integrity of the knee joint. Therefore, meniscus tissue preserving techniques for the therapy of meniscus injuries seem to be reasonable. One of the important questions is whether meniscal repair can

Cracked Metal–Phenolic Networks with Durable Confinement Capillarity for Enhanced Solar Desalination

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Nature‐inspired cracks are introduced into photothermal metal–phenolic networks (C‐MPNs). These crack patterns can be controlled to optimize water flow, enabling confinement capillarity to enhance the evaporation rate while preventing salt fouling. The cracks also serve as a buffer zone to significantly enhance the stability of the C‐MPNs, overcoming ...

Dynamics of elastocapillary rise

open access: yes, 2011
We present the results of a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the surface-tension-driven coalescence of flexible structures. Specifically, we consider the dynamics of the rise of a wetting liquid between flexible sheets that are ...

Heating Simulation of Film Heaters Fabricated by EHD Inkjet Printing for Satellite Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
New processes utilizing next‐generation printing technology are proposed to manufacture film heaters for satellite applications. In addition, the material properties of composite inks produced for application to this printing technology are derived. Film heaters are manufactured using the inks produced in this way, and heater verification is performed ...

Common mistakes and pitfalls in magnetic resonance imaging of the knee [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This pictorial review presents an overview of common interpretation errors and pitfalls in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the knee. Instead of being exhaustive, we will emphasize those pitfalls that are most commonly encountered by young residents ...

Improved arthroscopic one-piece excision technique for the treatment of symptomatic discoid medial meniscus

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2017
Background Discoid medial meniscus is an extremely rare abnormality of the knee. During arthroscopic meniscectomy for symptomatic discoid medial meniscus, it is difficult to remove the posterior portion of the meniscus because of the confined working ...

Experimental Study of Gas Microbubbles on Oil‐Infused Wrinkled Surfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Microbubbles are observed on both superhydrophobic (SHS) and lubricant‐infused surfaces (LIS) immersed to gassed water. The bubbles on LIS are stabilized by the lubricant cloaking layer, while bubbles on SHS shrink vertically over the same time frame.

Process and apparatus for growing a crystal ribbon [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
A process and apparatus is disclosed for growing a crystal ribbon of a substance of theoretically infinite length from a melt of the substance. A pair of fixedly positioned edge defining members are partially submerged into the melt so as to break the ...

Control and ultrasonic actuation of a gas-liquid interface in a microfluidic chip

open access: yes, 2009
This article describes the design and manufacturing of a microfluidic chip, allowing for the actuation of a gas-liquid interface and of the neighboring fluid. A first way to control the interface motion is to apply a pressure difference across it.
