Atomic Force Microscopy Stiffness Mapping in Human Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)Aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play a vital role in maintaining mechanical homeostasis in the aorta. We recently found that SMCs of aneurysmal aortas apply larger traction forces than SMCs of healthy aortas. This result ... -
The Elephant in the Cell: Nuclear Mechanics and Mechanobiology
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)The 2021 Summer Biomechanics, Bioengineering, and Biotransport Conference (SB3C) featured a workshop titled “The Elephant in the Room: Nuclear Mechanics and Mechanobiology.” The goal of this workshop was to provide a ... -
A Review of Finite Element Models of Ligaments in the Foot and Considerations for Practical Application
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)Finite element (FE) modeling has been used as a research tool for investigating underlying ligaments biomechanics and orthopedic applications. However, FE models of the ligament in the foot have been developed with various ... -
Erratum: “Internal Tibial Forces and Moments During Graded Running” [ASME J. Biomech. Eng., 2021, 144(1), p. 011009
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)In the Data Analysis section, it was stated that, “The joint moments used in the optimization were the flexion–extension and abduction-adduction moments at the hip and ankle, and the flexion–extension moment at the knee.” ... -
Relating Metabolism Suppression and Nucleation Probability During Supercooled Biopreservation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)Aqueous supercooling provides a method by which to preserve biological matter at subfreezing temperatures without the deleterious effects of ice formation. The extended longevity of the preserved biologic is a direct result ... -
Ink Rheology Regulates Stability of Bioprinted Strands
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)Three-dimensional (3D) extrusion bioprinting typically requires an ad hoc trial-and-error optimization of the ink composition toward enhanced resolution. The ink solutions are solidified after leaving cone-shaped or ... -
Confined Cell Migration and Asymmetric Hydraulic Environments to Evaluate the Metastatic Potential of Cancer Cells
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)Metastasis, a hallmark of cancer development, is also the leading reason for most cancer-related deaths. Furthermore, cancer cells are highly adaptable to micro-environments and can migrate along pre-existing channel-like ... -
A Novel and Inexpensive Technique for High-Tension Tendon Clamping With Expandable Mesh Sleeving for In Vitro Foot Biomechanics Testing
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)In vitro biomechanical testing is common in the field of orthopedics when novel devices are investigated prior to human trials. It is typically necessary to apply loads through tendons to simulate normal activities, such ... -
Effect of Human Synovial Fluid From Osteoarthritis Patients and Healthy Individuals on Lymphatic Contractile Activity
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)The lymphatic system has been proposed to play a crucial role in preventing the development and progression of osteoarthritis (OA). As OA develops and progresses, inflammatory cytokines and degradation by-products of joint ... -
An Interference Inspection Algorithm of Limb and Hexapod Frame in the Treatment of Lower Limb Deformity
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)Pre-operative correction trajectory planning is one of the important aspects of deformity correction. Avoidance of limb–frame interference is essential to verify the implementability of the preplanned correction trajectory, ... -
A Musculoskeletal Model Customized for Sagittal and Frontal Knee Kinematics With Improved Knee Joint Stability
