An Axisymmetric Boundary Element Model for Determination of Articular Cartilage Pericellular Matrix Properties In Situ via Inverse Analysis of Chondron Deformation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The pericellular matrix (PCM) is the narrow tissue region surrounding all chondrocytes in articular cartilage and, together, the chondrocyte(s) and surrounding PCM have been termed the chondron. ...
The Dynamic Mechanical Environment of the Chondrocyte: A Biphasic Finite Element Model of Cell-Matrix Interactions Under Cyclic Compressive Loading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cyclic mechanical loading of articular cartilage results in a complex biomechanical environment at the scale of the chondrocytes that strongly affects cellular metabolic activity. Under dynamic ...
