Contributed by Michael V. L. Bennett, August 3, 2018 (sent for review June 25, 2018; reviewed by Ludmila Belayev and Cesar Borlongan) Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is employed in stroke patients ...

Also, reperfused, reversibly injured tissue is “stunned,” ie, it exhibits temporary contractile failure even though it is alive and aerobic. In summary, these monuments to the effects of the episode ...

Over the past few decades, rapid progress in both tissue engineering and regenerative medicine has revolutionized approaches to tissue regeneration and ...

Abstract: This study reports the first use of ultrasound (US) elastography for imaging spinal fractures by assessing the mechanical ... tissue complex in rabbit samples are generated and analyzed to ...

A new technique maintains structural integrity by essentially hiding openings in materials from surrounding forces. Rather than reinforcing an opening, such as a hole or a window, to protect against a ...

The objective of this study is to translate previous work to human scale and clinically relevant cells for the bioengineering of functional myocardial tissue based on the combination of human cardiac ...

Our results represent the first in vivo research on ND (or NDPC) as nanofillers in a polymer matrix for bone tissue engineering. The high mechanical properties, good in vitro and in vivo ...

Shear wave speed (SWS) estimation is a noninvasive tool used to measure tissue mechanical properties such as stiffness. The goal of this study was to determine the spatial variability and assess the ...

Bone is not the inert structure we often imagine. It's alive, adapting daily to load-bearing and impact. But with over 200 ...

The AlgAam gels were biocompatible and could easily be dried and rehydrated with no change in mechanical properties. These gels showed promise as scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering, where the ...

Computational Laboratory for Advanced Materials and Structures, Advanced Institute of Materials Science, Ton Duc Thang University, Ho Chi Minh City 700000, Vietnam Faculty of Civil Engineering, Ton ...

Simulations of isotropic normal compression and shearing along different stress paths show the existence of a normal compression line, and for the first time, a critical state line that is parallel to ...
