Tissue engineering for prenatal applications

Fetal therapies have become available for a restricted number of life-threatening clinical conditions. Harnessing tissue engineering for prenatal applications has not been widely pursued even though isolating cells from fetal and extraembryonic tissues has ...

Smart instrumentation for determination of ligament stiffness and ligament balance in total knee arthroplasty

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli, Arash Arami, Willyan Hasenkamp Carreira

Ligament balance is an important and subjective task performed during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedure. For this reason, it is desirable to develop instruments to quantitatively assess the soft-tissue balance since excessive imbalance can accelerate ...

Dental Phenotype in Jalili Syndrome Due to a c.1312 dupC Homozygous Mutation in the CNNM4 Gene

Jalili syndrome denotes a recessively inherited combination of an eye disease (cone-rod dystrophy) and a dental disorder (amelogenesis imperfecta), which is caused by mutations in the CNNM4 gene. Whereas the ophthalmic consequences of these mutations have ...

Augmentation of bone defect healing using a new biocomposite scaffold: an in vivo study in sheep

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban

Previous studies support resorbable biocomposites made of poly L-lactic acid (PLA) and β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) produced by supercritical gas foaming as a suitable scaffold for tissue engineering. The present study was undertaken to demonstrate the bio ...

Bioengineering of foetal membrane repair

Preterm premature rupture of the foetal membranes (fruber vorzeitiger Blasensprung) has remained a devastating complication of pregnancy with very high risk of pregnancy loss. Several methods of sealing spontaneously ruptured membranes to stop amniotic flu ...

In vivo evaluation of human fetal cells as allogenic cell source for tissue engineering

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Corinne Scaletta

The aim of this study was to test the association of fetal bone cells with ceramic reinforced PLA scaffolds for tissue engineering. As animal models, the craniotomy and the femoral condyle approaches in rats were chosen to follow cortical and trabecular bo ...

Uses of forward and reverse genetics in mice to study gene function

Johan Auwerx

As the focus of human genetics shifts from Mendelian traits to complex diseases, a sophisticated genetic tool kit—with space for genetics (classical, molecular, statistical, and quantitative), metabolics, proteomics, bioinformatics, and mathematics—is requ ...

Stress Distribution Visualization on Pre- and Post-Operative Virtual Hip Joint

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Sofiane Sarni, Anderson Maciel

In this paper, we present a case study using a spreadsheet-like interface for exploring biomedical datasets generated by a biomechanical model of the hip. The case we analyze here is an osteotomy corrective surgery that reorients the femoral body in relati ...
