Development of a Biaxial Testing System for Research of Soft Tissue Biomechanics using Laboratory Models
<p>The rupture of the cap tissue layer of a fibroatheroma in human coronary vessels is considered the key event leading to the formation of a thrombus and myocardial infarction, resulting in more than half a million deaths in the US every year. In this study, we are interested in investigating the …

Deformation and fracture of soft materials for cartilage tissue engineering
… treatments available. The developing field of tissue engineering offers an alternative to the currently used full joint replacement. Restoring damaged cartilage through tissue engineering would enable an active lifestyle to be recovered and retained, without restrictions to joint mobility. This …

Evaluation of Graft Pretension Effects in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Series of In Vitro and In Vivo Experiments
… screws. Following sacrifice at 4 weeks, tissues were mechanically, histologically, and biochemically analyzed. A pretension of 20 N resulted in a tissue more similar to the intrinsic ACL.
