Hybrid hydrogels for load-bearing implants

Load-bearing tissues such as articular cartilage or meniscus are not infallible. They might fail due to trauma, over-solicitations, or diseases, which could subsequently alter the mobility of the patient. Repairing these damaged tissues in a minimally inva ...

Modifying Stride Length in Isolation and in Combination With Foot Progression Angle and Step Width Can Improve Knee Kinetics Related to Osteoarthritis; A Preliminary Study in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of modifying stride length (SL) on knee adduction and flexion moments, two markers of knee loading associated with medial-compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA) progression. This study also tested if SL ...

Light-Activated, Bioadhesive, Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) Brush Coatings

Jian Wang, Dominique Pioletti, Harm-Anton Klok, Peyman Karami, Nariye Cavusoglu Ataman

Rapid adhesion between tissue and synthetic materials is relevant to accelerate wound healing and to facilitate the integration of implantable medical devices. Most frequently, tissue adhesives are applied as a gel or a liquid formulation. This manuscript ...

Pattern formation in thin liquid films: from coating-flow instabilities to microfluidic droplets

Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra

Nature and technical applications abound with thin viscous flows, ranging from the lava flow on volcanoes to the lubricating layer around confined bubbles in the microchannels of Lab-on-a-Chip devices. Countless are the examples where coating flows arise i ...

Biomechanical Aspects of Osteogenesis in Load-Bearing Tissue Engineering Scaffolds

Alireza Roshan Ghias

There is increasing evidence that mechanical stimulation affects the fate of tissue engineering scaffolds. In clinical situations, it is critical to accelerate bone formation inside the scaffold to reduce the recovery time and increase the chance of succes ...

X-ray phase contrast imaging of the bone-cartilage interface

Synoyial joints articulate in a lubricating environment, the system providing for smooth articulation. The articular cartilage overlying the bone consists of a network of collagen fibres. This network is essential to cartilage integrity, suffering damage i ...

In vivo cyclic loading as a potent stimulatory signal for bone formation inside tissue engineering scaffolds

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Alireza Roshan Ghias

In clinical situations, bone defects are often located at load bearing sites. Tissue engineering scaffolds are future bone substitutes and hence they will be subjected to mechanical stimulation. The goal of this study was to test if cyclic loading can be u ...

Gravity-driven slug motion in capillary tubes

Dani Or, Ivan Lunati

The velocity of a liquid slug falling in a capillary tube is lower than predicted for Poiseuille flow due to presence of menisci, whose shapes are determined by the complex interplay of capillary, viscous, and gravitational forces. Due to the presence of m ...

Engineering of human meniscus substitute

Anna Marsano

Injuries to the meniscus are often treated by partial or total meniscectomy, which is known to be associated with detrimental changes in joint function, ultimately increasing the risk of early degenerative joint diseases. Surgical approaches currently in u ...
