Assessing Cartilage Biomechanical Properties: Techniques for Evaluating the Functional Performance of Cartilage in Health and DiseaseAnnual Review of Biomedical Engineering - Tập 19 Số 1 - Trang 27-55 - 2017
Benjamin A. Lakin, Brian D. Snyder, Mark W. Grinstaff
Osteoarthritis (OA) affects millions of people and results in weakened hyaline cartilage due to overloading. During joint articulation, hyaline cartilage must withstand high loads while maintaining low friction to prevent wear and tissue loss. Thus, cartilage compressive stiffness and the coefficient of friction are important indicators of the tissue's functional performance. These mechani...... hiện toàn bộ
Drugging Membrane Protein InteractionsAnnual Review of Biomedical Engineering - Tập 18 Số 1 - Trang 51-76 - 2016
Hang Yin, Aaron D. Flynn
The majority of therapeutics target membrane proteins, accessible on the surface of cells, to alter cellular signaling. Cells use membrane proteins to transduce signals into cells, transport ions and molecules, bind cells to a surface or substrate, and catalyze reactions. Newly devised technologies allow us to drug conventionally “undruggable” regions of membrane proteins, enabling modulat...... hiện toàn bộ
