Meniscus Controlled Three-Dimensional Nanofabrication
… controlled deposition within a nanoscale liquid meniscus. Metallic as well as non-metallic nanowires with extremely high aspect-ratios and three dimensional nanostructures such as freestanding metallic interconnects can be fabricated by these techniques at desired locations. Continuous …

Development of an Artificial Meniscus Implant
… tibia and their strong yet compliant structure. Meniscus lesions are among the most common orthopedic injuries, but all current treatments are only applicable to a limited number of tears or have poor clinical outcomes. The majority of the meniscus is avascular and has limited healing capacity. …

The human meniscus: transplantation, characterisation and tissue engineering
The Human Meniscus: Transplantation, Characterization and Tissue Engineering Peter Verdonk, MD, PhD; Ghent University, Belgium Abstract The meniscus plays an important role in the complex biomechanics of the knee joint. Removal of this tissue can result in dysfunction and pain in the involved joint …

Harnessing the Regenerative Characteristics of Meniscus Superficial Zone Cells
The meniscus is a semilunar fibrocartilaginous structure that is critical for knee joint function. Tears in the knee meniscus present a significant clinical burden due to the limited endogenous healing capacity. Superficial meniscus cells are thought to play a critical role in meniscus injury …

ALLOGRAFT DERIVED BIOSCAFFOLDS FOR TISSUE ENGINEERING OF THE MENISCUS: AN IN VIVO OVINE STUDY AND THE EFFECT OF HYPOXIC CULTURE ON SEEDED MENISCUS CONSTRUCTS
The meniscus is a fibrocartilagenous wedge shaped semilunar tissue that plays an important role in knee joint function and stability. The structure of the meniscus is integral to its function as it provides protection and cushion to the knee joint. Irreparable meniscus tears and meniscus …

Experimental Study of Meniscus Thin-Film Evaporation in a Horizontal-Tube, Falling-Film Heat Exchanger, Focusing on Dynamic Contact Angle Variation of an Advancing Meniscus
Meniscus dynamics were studied with respect to thin-film evaporation, specifically focusing on a horizontal-tube, falling-film heat exchanger. Experiments were carried out investigating the effects of solution subcooling, evaporator wall superheat, and porous-layer coating on the portions of …

Role of ATG 5 in ER stress-induced apoptosis in meniscus.
… was to examine the effect of these FFAs in meniscus joint tissues. Our study demonstrated that saturated free fatty acid palmitate induces endoplasmic reticulum stress in primary porcine meniscus cells, and significantly decreased the protein level of ATG 5, a major autophagy related protein …

On the electrohydrodynamics of drop extraction from a conductive liquid meniscus
… self-consistent model permits simulation of meniscus behavior under time-varying applied voltage or pressure, with the electric field solution continually updated as the surface changes shape. The model uses a quasi-one-dimensional hydrodynamic formulation and a two-dimensional axisymmetric …

A potential biologic role for the meniscus in the development of osteoarthritis.
… research is to identify the biologic role of the meniscus in the development of osteoarthritis. We hypothesized that inflammatory factors associated with joint injury would stimulate menisci to increase production of matrix-degrading enzymes, cytokines and chemokines, which could contribute to …

Crystallization of active pharmaceutical ingredients using microfluidic platforms and meniscus-guided coating
… including the use of microfluidic platforms. Meniscus-guided coating was explored as an additive manufacturing technique to make pharmaceutical thin films. Crystalline films were grown on a biocompatible polymer substrate and characterized by polarized optical microscopy to determine the film …

Thin-film single-walled carbon nanotube transistors fabricated using mechanical meniscus aligned arrays
… surfactant-encapsulated SWNTs dispersed in it, a meniscus is formed either between a capillary tube and a substrate or between two angled substrates of differing hydrophobicity. As the meniscus is mechanically dragged across the substrate, the SWNTs get pinned to the surface and are aligned by the …
