Problem Based Learning in Biomechanics: Advantages, Challenges, and Implementation Strategies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Problembased learning (PBL) has been shown to be effective in biomedical engineering education, particularly in motivating student learning, increasing knowledge retention, and developing problem solving, communication, ...
A Modified Parallel Plate Flow Chamber to Study Local Endothelial Response to Recirculating Disturbed Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Atherosclerosis develops at arterial sites where endothelial cells (ECs) are exposed to low time-averaged shear stress, in particular in regions of recirculating disturbed flow. To understand how hemodynamics contributes ...
Glycated Collagen Decreased Endothelial Cell Fibronectin Alignment in Response to Cyclic Stretch Via Interruption of Actin Alignment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Hyperglycemia is a defining characteristic of diabetes, and uncontrolled blood glucose in diabetes is associated with accelerated cardiovascular disease. Chronic hyperglycemia glycates extracellular matrix (ECM) collagen, ...
A Systems Approach to Biomechanics, Mechanobiology, and Biotransport
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The human body represents a collection of interacting systems that range in scale from nanometers to meters. Investigations from a systems perspective focus on how the parts work together to enact changes across spatial ...
