Optical and mechanical determination of Poisson's ratio of adult bovine humeral articular cartilage.

TLDR
An optical method for the visualization of boundaries of cylindrical bovine humeral head articular cartilage disks, immersed in physiological solution, and compressed in unconfined geometry revealed that the lateral expansion, especially during the initial phase of relaxation, was inhomogeneous through the tissue depth.

Bacterial cellulose as a potential scaffold for tissue engineering of cartilage

TL;DR: The results indicate that unmodified BC supports chondrocyte proliferation at levels of approximately 50% of the collagen type II substrate while providing significant advantages in terms of mechanical properties, and suggest the potential for this biomaterial as a scaffold for tissue engineering of cartilage.

A biomimetic three-dimensional woven composite scaffold for functional tissue engineering of cartilage

TL;DR: A microscale 3D weaving technique is presented to generate anisotropic 3D woven structures as the basis for novel composite scaffolds that are consolidated with a chondrocyte-hydrogel mixture into cartilage tissue constructs that uniquely combine the potential for load-bearing immediately after implantation in vivo with biological support for cell-based tissue regeneration without requiring cultivation in vitro.

Design of porous scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering using a three-dimensional fiber-deposition technique.

TL;DR: 3D-deposited scaffolds seeded with bovine articular chondrocytes supported a homogeneous cell distribution and subsequent cartilage-like tissue formation following in vitro culture as well as subcutaneous implantation in nude mice.

Reinforcement of hydrogels using three-dimensionally printed microfibres

TL;DR: This work reinforces soft hydrogels with highly organized, high-porosity microfibre networks that are 3D-printed with a technique termed as melt electrospinning writing, showing that the stiffness of the gel/scaffold composites increases synergistically (up to 54-fold), compared with hydrogel or microf fibre scaffolds alone.

A new elastographic method for estimation and imaging of lateral displacements, lateral strains, corrected axial strains and Poisson's ratios in tissues.

TL;DR: A new weighted interpolation method operating between neighboring RF A-lines for high precision tracking of the lateral displacement is described, which allows a fine correction for the lateral decorrelation that corrupts the axial estimation.

A mathematical analysis for indentation tests of articular cartilage.

TL;DR: Solutions for the indentation of the layer by the plane end of a rigid circular cylinder and by a rigid sphere are suggested as useful for the determination of the elastic shear modulus of intact cartilage.

Cartilage and diarthrodial joints as paradigms for hierarchical materials and structures

TL;DR: This review presents a summary of the hierarchical features for articular cartilage and diarthrodial joints and tables of known material properties for cartilage to summarize how the multi-scale interactions in articular Cartilage provide for its unique material properties and tribological characteristics.

Interspecies comparisons of in situ intrinsic mechanical properties of distal femoral cartilage

TL;DR: The results lead to the conclusion that patellar groove cartilage can undergo greater and faster compression under high compressive loads and can more rapidly compress to create a congruent patellofemoral joint articulation.
