The objective of this study was to establish a three-dimensional (3-D) in vitro model system
of cardiac muscle for electrophysiological studies. Primary neonatal rat ventricular cells …

We have measured the relationship between tissue swelling stress and consolidation for
bovine articular cartilage and corneal stroma in uniaxial confined compression as a function …

Time-varying magnetic fields used both in nerve stimulation and in magnetic resonance
imaging induce electric fields and currents in conducting tissues. Knowledge of the spatial …

Previous studies have shown that stress relaxation behavior of calf ulnar growth plate and
chondroepiphysis cartilage can be described by a linear transverse isotropic biphasic …

BACKGROUND: Advice has been associated with increased adherence to recommended
infant care practices, and may represent a modifiable factor to promote infant health …

We tested the hypothesis that cardiomyocytes maintained their phenotype better if cultured
as three-dimensional tissue constructs than if cultured as confluent monolayers. Neonatal rat …

An electromechanical model for charged, hydrated tissues is developed to predict the
kinetics of changes in swelling and isometric compressive stress induced by changes in …

It has been hypothesized that applied mechanical or osmotic loads which decrease cartilage
volume by 5% or more are sufficient to relieve all collagen tensile forces, and that further …

Forward solutions with different levels of complexity are employed for localization of current
generators, which are responsible for the electric and magnetic fields measured from the …

Bone regeneration during fracture healing has been demonstrated repeatedly, yet the
regeneration of articular cartilage and joints has not yet been achieved. It has been …
