Meniscus-Inspired Self-Lubricating and Friction-Responsive Hydrogels for Protecting Articular Cartilage and Improving Exercise [PDF]
Meniscus injuries are associated with the degeneration of cartilage and development of osteoarthritis (OA). It is challenging to protect articular cartilage and improve exercise when a meniscus injury occurs.

Meniscus-Guided 3D Microprinting of Pure MetalOrganic Frameworks with High Gas-Uptake Performance [PDF]
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a promising nanoporous functional material system; however, the practicality of shaping freeform MOF monoliths, while retaining their porosity, remains a challenge.

Discoid lateral meniscus is an intra-articular knee disorder typically presented in the young population and during adolescence. Different types of meniscal disorders and varied forms of presentation have been reported. The natural history depends on the type of anomaly and the presence of symptoms.

Evaporative Heat and Mass Transfer from the Free Surface of a Liquid Wicked into a Bed of Spheres [PDF]
Evaporation of ethanol from square packed arrays of 3.95 mm diameter copper spheres in a transparent, enclosed chamber is investigated. The enclosure ensures that relatively saturated vapor conditions exist near the free surface. The desired heat flux is
