RISDamage Accumulation Modeling and Rate Dependency of Spinal Dura Mater
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As the strongest of the meningeal tissues, the spinal dura mater plays an important role in the overall behavior of the spinal cord-meningeal complex (SCM). It follows that the accumulation of damage affects the dura mater's ...
Regulatory Role of Collagen XI in the Establishment of Mechanical Properties of Tendons and Ligaments in Mice Is Tissue Dependent
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Collagen XI is ubiquitous in tissues such as joint cartilage, cancellous bone, muscles, and tendons and is an important contributor during a crucial part in fibrillogenesis. The COL11A1 gene encodes one of three alpha ...
Pregnancy and Lactation Impair Subchondral Bone Leading to Reduced Rat Supraspinatus Tendon-to-Bone Insertion Site Failure Properties
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pregnant women experience weight gain, gait changes, and biochemical fluctuations that impair joint function and alter the maternal skeleton. Hormonal changes increase pelvic ligament laxity in preparation for childbirth ...
Induced Knockdown of Decorin, Alone and in Tandem With Biglycan Knockdown, Directly Increases Aged Murine Patellar Tendon Viscoelastic Properties
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Tendon injuries increase with age, yet the age-associated changes in tendon properties remain unexplained. Decorin and biglycan are two matrix proteoglycans that play complex roles in regulating tendon formation, maturation, ...
Short- and Long-Term Exercise Results in a Differential Achilles Tendon Mechanical Response
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The study was conducted to define the biomechanical response of rat Achilles tendon after a single bout of exercise and a short or long duration of daily exercise. We hypothesized that a single bout or a short duration of ...
Long-Term Effects of Reproduction and Lactation on the Rat Supraspinatus Tendon and Proximal Humerus
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: During pregnancy and breastfeeding, women undergo hormonal fluctuations required for fetal development, parturition, and infant growth. These changes have secondary consequences on the maternal musculoskeletal system, ...
Tensile Mechanical Properties and Dynamic Collagen Fiber Re-Alignment of the Murine Cervix Are Dramatically Altered Throughout Pregnancy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The cervix is a unique organ able to dramatically change its shape and function by serving as a physical barrier for the growing fetus and then undergoing dramatic dilation allowing for delivery of a term infant. As a ...
