Tendon mechanobiology in the context of tendon biofabrication
Frontiers in Bioengineering and BiotechnologyTendons are often affected by injuries or tendinopathies, resulting in serious and long-lasting impairments. The repair capacity is very low with a high risk of rerupture. Nevertheless, early, moderate and intermittent functional training adapted to the healing process has been shown to support tendon healing.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Surface polarization of PVDF films combined with mechanical stimulation generates piezoelectric electrical cues that modulate cardiomyoblast behaviour. Non‐poled and poled PVDF substrates provide distinct electroactive microenvironments influencing cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation.

Modelling of Deterioration Effects on Concrete Structures
Acta Polytechnica, 2002 In order to predict the service life of concrete structures models for deterioration effects are needed. This paper has the form of a survey, listing and describing such analytical models, namely carbonation of concrete, ingress of chlorides, corrosion ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In vitro arterial models offer ethical and robust alternatives for vascular research but require cytocompatible materials that replicate physiological mechanics. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels produced by directional freezing and salting‐out (PVA DFSO) are anisotropic yet lack stability for cell culture. Herein, methacrylated PVA (PVA‐MA)

Sonographic findings during and after Platelet Rich Plasma injections in tendons.
, 2014 Platelet rich plasma has been used in the treatment of tendinopathies, but the sonographic modifications of tendons have received less attention. In this paper we report the results of an ultrasound evaluation, performed during and after plasma injection,
