Diseased tissues are noted for their compromised mechanical properties, which contribute to organ failure; regeneration entails restoration of tissue structure and thereby functions.
These results relate features of the matrix and cellular components of 3-D fibrin constructs to mechanical properties, and contribute to the understanding of structure function relationships in cell-seeded, 3-D protein hydrogels.
In contrast to artificial needles, such insect organs as bee stings are naturally endowed with elegant structures and superior mechanical properties, which contribute to their multiple biological functions.
When compared to mechanical testing results, incorporation of Laponite significantly increased the compressive properties and shear moduli of PEG-D4 hydrogels, indicating that increased bulk materials properties contributed to improved adhesive performance.
However, these differences in the mechanical properties can be contributed to the distinct evolution features of the WC reinforcement particle during these two AM processes.
Finally, the essential reinforcement on mechanical properties was mainly contributed to the homogeneous microstructure of hydrogel network and the energy dissipation mechanism of microgels in gel matrix.
Experimental data indicated that increasing the velocity and decreasing the viscosity of the systems produced cement that improved mechanical properties, which may contribute to better mechanical integrity and, hence, reduced tendency for aseptic loosening, of cemented hip implants.
The unique physical and mechanical properties of HA contribute to the maintenance of tissue hydration, the mediation of solute diffusion through the extracellular space and the lubrication of certain tissues.
The pericellular matrix (PCM) of cells affects the fluid flow around chondrocytes, thus differences in PCM structure and mechanical properties might also contribute to any differences between joint regions both in terms of deformation and calcium signaling (Guilak et al. 2006; Madden et al. 2013).
Vacant properties contribute to crime.
