3-D Visualization in Biomedical ApplicationsAnnual Review of Biomedical Engineering - Tập 1 Số 1 - Trang 377-399 - 1999
Richard A. Robb
▪ Abstract Visualizable objects in biology and medicine extend across a vast
range of scale, from individual molecules and cells through the varieties of
tissue and interstitial interfaces to complete organs, organ systems, and body
parts. These objects include functional attributes of these systems, such as
biophysical, biomechanical, and physiological properties. Visualization in three

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 mechanical
prop... 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 modulation
of p... hiện toàn bộ
The Effect of Nanoparticle Size, Shape, and Surface Chemistry on Biological SystemsAnnual Review of Biomedical Engineering - Tập 14 Số 1 - Trang 1-16 - 2012
Alexandre Albanese, Peter S. Tang, Warren C. W. Chan
An understanding of the interactions between nanoparticles and biological
systems is of significant interest. Studies aimed at correlating the properties
of nanomaterials such as size, shape, chemical functionality, surface charge,
and composition with biomolecular signaling, biological kinetics,
transportation, and toxicity in both cell culture and animal experiments are
under way. These fundamen... hiện toàn bộ
DNA Microarray Technology: Devices, Systems, and ApplicationsAnnual Review of Biomedical Engineering - Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang 129-153 - 2002
Michael J. Heller
▪ Abstract In this review, recent advances in DNA microarray technology and
their applications are examined. The many varieties of DNA microarray or DNA
chip devices and systems are described along with their methods for fabrication
and their use. This includes both high-density microarrays for high-throughput
screening applications and lower-density microarrays for various diagnostic
application... hiện toàn bộ
Photoacoustic Microscopy and Computed Tomography: From Bench to BedsideAnnual Review of Biomedical Engineering - Tập 16 Số 1 - Trang 155-185 - 2014
Lihong V. Wang, Liang Gao
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) of biological tissue has seen immense growth in the
past decade, providing unprecedented spatial resolution and functional
information at depths in the optical diffusive regime. PAI uniquely combines the
advantages of optical excitation and those of acoustic detection. The hybrid
imaging modality features high sensitivity to optical absorption and wide
scalability of sp... hiện toàn bộ
Mechano-Electrochemical Properties Of Articular Cartilage: Their Inhomogeneities and AnisotropiesAnnual Review of Biomedical Engineering - Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang 175-209 - 2002
Van C. Mow, Xiao Guo
▪ Abstract In this chapter, the recent advances in cartilage biomechanics and
electromechanics are reviewed and summarized. Our emphasis is on the new
experimental techniques in cartilage mechanical testing, new experimental and
theoretical findings in cartilage biomechanics and electromechanics, and
emerging theories and computational modeling of articular cartilage. The charged

Physicochemical Foundations and Structural Design of Hydrogels in Medicine and BiologyAnnual Review of Biomedical Engineering - Tập 2 Số 1 - Trang 9-29 - 2000
Nikolaos A. Peppas, Yanbin Huang, Madeline Torres‐Lugo, Jennifer H. Ward, J. Zhang
▪ Abstract Hydrogels are cross-linked hydrophilic polymers that can imbibe
water or biological fluids. Their biomedical and pharmaceutical applications
include a very wide range of systems and processes that utilize several
molecular design characteristics. This review discusses the molecular structure,
dynamic behavior, and structural modifications of hydrogels as well as the
various application... hiện toàn bộ
