Arthroscopic Lysis of Adhesions for the Stiff Total Knee Arthroplasty

Arthroscopy Techniques, 2014
The management of the stiff knee after total knee arthroplasty is controversial. Manipulation under anesthesia and open lysis of adhesions are techniques that can theoretically address the fibrous scar tissue, but their efficacy has been shown to be ...

Coupling biochemistry and mechanics in cell adhesion: a model for inhomogeneous stress fiber contraction

, 2007
Biochemistry and mechanics are closely coupled in cell adhesion. At sites of cell-matrix adhesion, mechanical force triggers signaling through the Rho-pathway, which leads to structural reinforcement and increased contractility in the actin cytoskeleton.

Mechano-transduction: from molecules to tissues. [PDF]

, 2014
External forces play complex roles in cell organization, fate, and homeostasis. Changes in these forces, or how cells respond to them, can result in abnormal embryonic development and diseases in adults.

Autologous Fat Grafting With Botulinum Toxin For Facial Deformities

International Dental Journal
Aim or purpose: This study evaluates the efficacy of autologous fat grafting combined with botulinum toxin (BTX) injection in improving fat survival and restoring facial contours, especially in cases with soft tissue deficiencies, scars, and subcutaneous

Biomimetic emulsions reveal the effect of homeostatic pressure on cell-cell adhesion

, 2012
Cell-cell contacts in tissues are continuously subject to mechanical forces due to homeostatic pressure and active cytoskeleton dynamics. While much is known about the molecular pathways of adhesion, the role of mechanics is less well understood.

Reversal of aging-induced increases in aortic stiffness by targeting cytoskeletal protein-protein interfaces [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: The proximal aorta normally functions as a critical shock absorber that protects small downstream vessels from damage by pressure and flow pulsatility generated by the heart during systole.

The features of adhesions’ prevention and treatment in patients with chronic inflammatory pelvic diseases [PDF]

Гинекология, 2018
Pelvic inflammatory diseases (PID) are on the second place in the structure of gynecological incidence. It has been proven, that PID develops in case of disturbed immune balance and often complicated by pelvic adhesions.

Intraperitoneal chemotherapy for peritoneal metastases : an expert opinion

, 2020
Introduction: The rationale for intraperitoneal (IP) drug delivery for patients with peritoneal metastases (PM) is based on the pharmacokinetic advantage resulting from the peritoneal-plasma barrier, and on the potential to adequately treat small, poorly

Two-photon imaging of cancer cell extravasation in live mice [PDF]

, 2011
MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells were engineered to express cytoplasmic paxillin-GFP and nuclear H2B-mCherry. In order to image extravasation, the cancer cells were injected in the blood stream of nude mice.
