The Micromechanical Environment of Intervertebral Disc Cells: Effect of Matrix Anisotropy and Cell Geometry Predicted by a Linear Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cells of the intervertebral disc exhibit spatial variations in phenotype and morphology that may be related to differences in their local mechanical environments. In this study, the stresses, ...
The Micromechanical Environment of Intervertebral Disc Cells Determined by a Finite Deformation, Anisotropic, and Biphasic Finite Element Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cellular response to mechanical loading varies between the anatomic zones of the intervertebral disc. This difference may be related to differences in the structure and mechanics of both cells ...
