The tissue engineering approach for repairing osteochondral (OC) defects involves the
fabrication of a biological tissue scaffold that mimics the physiological properties of natural …

Mechanotransduction plays a crucial role in the physiology of many tissues including bone.
Mechanical loading can inhibit bone resorption and increase bone formation in vivo. In …

A comprehensive finite element framework to enable the conduct of computational vascular
research is described. The software system developed provides an integrated set of tools to …

This review deals with biomechanical aspects of growth (mass change), remodeling
(property change), and morphogenesis (shape change) in living systems. The emphasis is …

Many of the unresolved debates in palaeoanthropology regarding evolution of particular
locomotor or manipulative behaviours are founded in differing opinions about the functional …

The effects of exercise on articular hyaline articular cartilage have traditionally been
examined in animal models, but until recently little information has been available on human …

Mechanobiologic factors strongly influence skeletal ossification and regulate changes in
bone geometry and apparent density during ontogeny. We have developed computer …

Although John Dewey is celebrated for his work in the philosophy of education and
acknowledged as a leading proponent of American pragmatism, he might also have enjoyed …

Bone formation is a continuous process that is initiated during fetal development and
persists in adults in the form of bone regeneration and remodeling. These latter two aspects …

Rat and mouse femur and tibia fracture calluses were collected over various time increments
of healing. Serial sections were produced at spatial segments across the fracture callus …
