RISEffect of Mechanical Loading on Electrical Conductivity in Human Intervertebral Disk
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The intervertebral disk (IVD), characterized as a charged, hydrated soft tissue, is the largest avascular structure in the body. Mechanical loading to the disk results in electromechanical ...
3D Finite Element Analysis of Nutrient Distributions and Cell Viability in the Intervertebral Disc: Effects of Deformation and Degeneration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The intervertebral disc (IVD) receives important nutrients, such as glucose, from surrounding blood vessels. Poor nutritional supply is believed to play a key role in disc degeneration. Several ...
