Modeling of Neutral Solute Transport in a Dynamically Loaded Porous Permeable Gel: Implications for Articular Cartilage Biosynthesis and Tissue Engineering
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A primary mechanism of solute transport in articular cartilage is believed to occur through passive diffusion across the articular surface, but cyclical loading has been shown experimentally to ...

Continuum Modeling of Biological Tissue Growth by Cell Division, and Alteration of Intracellular Osmolytes and Extracellular Fixed Charge Density
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A framework is formulated within the theory of mixtures for continuum modeling of biological tissue growth that explicitly addresses cell division, using a homogenized representation of cells and ...
Frictional Response of Bovine Articular Cartilage Under Creep Loading Following Proteoglycan Digestion With Chondroitinase ABC
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The specific aim of this study was to investigate the effect of chondroitinase ABC treatment on the frictional response of bovine articular cartilage against glass, under creep loading. The ...
An Automated Approach for Direct Measurement of Two-Dimensional Strain Distributions Within Articular Cartilage Under Unconfined Compression
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An automated approach for measuring in situ two-dimensional strain fields was developed and validated for its application to cartilage mechanics. This approach combines video microscopy, optimized ...
Modeling the Matrix of Articular Cartilage Using a Continuous Fiber Angular Distribution Predicts Many Observed Phenomena
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cartilage is a hydrated soft tissue whose solid matrix consists of negatively charged proteoglycans enmeshed within a fibrillar collagen network. Though many aspects of cartilage mechanics are ...
Chondrocyte Translocation Response to Direct Current Electric Fields
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Using a custom galvanotaxis chamber and time-lapse digital video microscopy, we report the novel observation that cultured chondrocytes exhibit cathodal migration when subjected to applied direct ...
Cartilage Interstitial Fluid Load Support in Unconfined Compression Following Enzymatic Digestion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Interstitial fluid pressurization plays an important role in cartilage biomechanics and is believed to be a primary mechanism of load support in synovial joints. The objective of this study was ...
Functional Tissue Engineering of Articular Cartilage Through Dynamic Loading of Chondrocyte-Seeded Agarose Gels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Due to its avascular nature, articular cartilage exhibits a very limited capacity to regenerate and to repair. Although much of the tissue-engineered cartilage in existence has been successful ...
