Decellularised tissues obtained by a CO2-philic detergent and supercritical CO2

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Nathalie Hirt-Burri, Matteo Gregorio Modesto Marascio, Jens Antons, Pierre-Arnaud Aeberhard, Giulia Weissenberger

Tissue decellularisation has gained much attention in regenerative medicine as an alternative to synthetic materials. In decellularised tissues, biological cues can be maintained and provide cellular environments still unmet by synthetic materials. Supercr ...

Rationalizing the In Vivo Degradation of Metal-on-Metal Artificial Hip Joints Using Tribocorrosion Concepts

Stefano Mischler, Shoufan Cao

In this study, the in vivo degradation of metal-on-metal (MoM) artificial hip joints was assessed based on the present state of the art concepts of tribocorrosion. A recently developed tribocorrosion model, based on the combination of mechanical and corros ...

Decellularization of bovine articular cartilage by supercritical carbon dioxide as a matrix for cartilage repair

Giulia Weissenberger

Decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) derived scaﬀolds serve as potential candidates in the application of cartilage regeneration to guide cells into proliferating and maintaining the structural zones of articular cartilage. ECM tissue matrices oﬀer fr ...

Tribocorrosion under fluid lubrication

Shoufan Cao

Wear is still the key problem causing the failure and limiting the lifetime of artificial hip joints, especially for the polymer acetabular cup in the metal-on-polymer and ceramic-on-polymer articulations. To reduce the wear, metal-on-metal articulation ha ...

Mechanical and biochemical characterisation of a articular cartilage based dECM hydrogel

Quentin Vermeire

In this study we present a photocrosslinkable and layerable hydrogel based on decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) intended for in vitromodels of cartilage tissue formation. dECM can provide cellular environments that are close to the native tissue s ...

Influence of loading history on mechanical properties of biomaterials

Tom Charles Maurice Walet

It is known that the mechanical response to load or displacement of a biological tissue can highly vary from one cycle to the next. Therefore, in order to establish a reference state for repeating data measurements, tissues are subjected to a preliminary s ...

In vivo electrochemical corrosion study of a CoCrMo biomedical alloy in human synovial fluids

Stefano Mischler

The present study was initiated with the aim to assess the in vivo electrochemical corrosion behaviour of CoCrMo biomedical alloys in human synovial fluids in an attempt to identify possible patient or pathology specific effects. For this, electrochemical ...

The Fluid Joint: The Soft Spot of Micro- and Nanosystems

Massimo Mastrangeli

Fluid bridges are ubiquitous soft structures of finite size that conform to and link the surfaces of neighboring objects. Fluid joints, the specific type of fluid bridge with at least one extremity constrained laterally, display even more pronounced reacti ...

Tribocorrosion of passive metals in the mixed lubrication regime: theoretical model and application to metal-on-metal artificial hip joints

Stefano Mischler, Shoufan Cao

Wear is a key problem limiting the lifetime and performance of total hip arthroplasty. The synovial fluid, acting as lubricant, can alleviate the wear of implants but also introduces corrosion. The interaction of mechanical wear and electrochemical corrosi ...

Impact of synovial fluid flow on temperature regulation in knee cartilage

Dominique Pioletti, Philippe Abdel Sayed, Valérie Hélène Emilie Malfroy Camine, Mohamadreza Nassajian Moghadam

Several studies have reported an increase of temperature in cartilage submitted to cyclic sinusoidal loading. The temperature increase is in part due to the viscous behavior of this tissue, which partially dissipates the input mechanical energy into heat. ...
