Device design and materials optimization of conformal coating for islets of Langerhans
Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Alice Anna Tomei
Encapsulation of islets of Langerhans may represent a way to transplant islets in the absence of immunosuppression. Traditional methods for encapsulation lead to diffusional limitations imposed by the size of the capsules (600-1,000 m in diameter), which r ...
Natl Acad Sciences2014Advances in the design of macroporous polymer scaffolds for potential applications in dentistry
Philippe Renaud, Thomas Michael Braschler, Sidi Ahmed Bencherif
A paradigm shift is taking place in medicine and dentistry from using synthetic implants and tissue grafts to a tissue engineering approach that uses degradable porous three-dimensional (3D) material hydrogels integrated with cells and bioactive factors to ...
2013Engineering 3D cell instructive microenvironments by rational assembly of artificial extracellular matrices and cell patterning
Matthias Lütolf, Adrian Ranga, Martin Ehrbar
Engineered artificial microenvironments hold enormous potential as models to study developmental, physiological, pathological, and regenerative processes under highly defined conditions. Such platforms aim at bridging the gap between traditional in vitro 2 ...
2011Biomechanical, morphological and zero-stress state characterization of jugular vein remodeling in arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis
While the role of hemodynamic variables on the development of intimal hyperplasia in arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis has been examined, less is known about the intramural biomechanical factors. In this study, arteriovenous fistulas were created by ...
2010Theroretical and experimental multi-scale study of an artificial bone construct
Synthetic bone substitutes are potentially the future gold standard in orthopaedic and traumatologic surgery. The availability of these bone substitutes with different biomechanical properties may well replace autografts in the future as they overcome comp ...
EPFL2007Effects of the posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction on the biomechanics of the knee joint: a finite element analysis
Background. Previous experimental studies have been conducted to evaluate the biomechanical effects of posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction; but no consensus has been reached on the preferred method of reconstruction. Methods. The 3D finite element m ...
