It has been established that primary stability of femoral stems is a determinant of the clinical success of cementless total hip arthroplasty[1]. Excessive interface micromotions may lead to a peri-implant fibrous tissue formation resulting in aseptic loos ...
A method is presented that extends the replication process for the manufacture of open-celled metallic foams to include foams with spherical cells. Such foams are produced to a wide range of relative densities, tested for mechanical behaviour and resistanc ...
Interstitial flow plays important roles in the morphogenesis, function, and pathogenesis of tissues. To investigate these roles and exploit them for tissue engineering or to overcome barriers to drug delivery, a comprehensive consideration of the interstit ...
The goal of this study is to analyze mechanical behavior of a new scaffold composed of PLA/bTCP in revision knee arhtroplasty (RKA). For this purpose, finite element models of RKA was developed to study the importance of the geometry of bones, the fixation ...
Stem cells are characterized by their dual ability to reproduce themselves (self-renew) and specialize (differentiate), yielding essentially unlimited numbers of daughter cells that can maintain and regenerate tissues. In contrast to their embryonic counte ...
In the paracortex of the lymph node (LN), T zone fibroblastic reticular cells (TRCs) orchestrate an immune response by guiding lymphocyte migration both physically, by creating three-dimensional (3D) cell networks, and chemically, by secreting the chemokin ...
The extracellular matrix (ECM) exerts powerful control over many cellular phenomena, including stem cell differentiation. As such, design and modulation of ECM analogs to ligate specific integrin is a promising approach to control cellular processes in vit ...
Stem cells are characterized by their dual ability to self- renew and differentiate, yielding essentially unlimited numbers of progeny that can replenish tissues with either high turnover such as blood and skin or contribute to the regeneration of organs w ...
Interstitial fluid flow has been shown to affect the organization and behavior of cells in 3D environments in vivo and in vitro, yet the forces driving such responses are not clear. Due to the complex architecture of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and the ...
In the domain of regenerative medicine research there are many fronts aimed at increasing our understanding of induced pluripotent, embryonic and adult stem cells. Recently a new front has appeared, stem cell niches, the microenvironment that is a crucial ...
