The aim of this study was to better understand how to increase collagen content in and enhance mechanical properties of tissue-equivalents formed by entrapping tissue cells in fibrin gels, with the ultimate goal of developing mechanically robust artificial tissues.
Between 1650 and 1800, some naturalists, such as Benoît de Maillet, produced theories that maintained that the universe, the Earth, and life, had developed mechanically, without divine guidance.
The objectives of this study were to develop moldable/injectable, mechanically strong and in situ-hardening calcium phosphate cement (CPC) composite scaffolds for bone regeneration and delivery of osteogenic cells and growth factors.
The oral cavity has two lines of defence; firstly, the parts of oral mucosa that are under direct action of mechanical forces such as the hard palate developed into mechanically tougher keratinised tissues, designed to protect the underlying cells from damage [2].
Vertebroplasty was developed to mechanically reinforce weakened vertebral bodies.
The 42-year-old company was founded by Charles B. Fisk, a physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project but left science for the unlikely goal of developing a mechanically operated organ in the United States that rivaled those built in Europe.
Novel piezoelectric MEMS resonators with magnetic shielding have been developed to mechanically generate RF magnetic fields in the megahertz frequency range from static magnetic fields.
The principles in the paper are developed for mechanically loaded components and are illustrated for engineering beams with two or three geometric variables.
A new device designed for home use by the patient, the Flexitouch™, has been developed to mechanically simulate MLD.
The Penn State University and Faisy equations were especially developed for mechanically ventilated critically ill patients and include temperature and minute ventilation in the calculation of EE [ 15, 18].
