Nutrient Utilization by Bovine Articular Chondrocytes: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A combined experimental-numerical approach was adopted to characterize glucose and oxygen uptake and lactate production by bovine articular chondrocytes in a model system. For a wide range of ...
Mitochondrial Dynamics in Chondrocytes and Their Connection to the Mechanical Properties of the Cytoplasm
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Background: The motion and redistribution of intracellular organelles is a fundamental process in cells. Organelle motion is a complex phenomenon that depends on a large number of variables ...
Viscoelastic Properties of Single Attached Cells Under Compression
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The viscoelastic properties of single, attached C2C12 myoblasts were measured using a recently developed cell loading device. The device allows global compression of an attached cell, while ...
A Theoretical Analysis of Damage Evolution in Skeletal Muscle Tissue With Reference to Pressure Ulcer Development
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Soft tissues are sensitive to prolonged compressive loading, eventually leading to tissue necrosis in the form of pressure ulcers 1. Pressure ulcers can occur in situations where people are ...
