Biofabrication of vasculature in microphysiological models of bone.
(2021)Bone contains a dense network of blood vessels that are essential to its homoeostasis, endocrine function, mineral metabolism and regenerative functions. In addition, bone vasculature is implicated in a number of prominent ... -
Biomaterial based modulation of macrophage polarization: A review and suggested design principles
(2015)Macrophages have long been known for their phagocytic capabilities and immune defence; however, their role in healing is being increasingly recognized in recent years due to their ability to polarize into pro-inflammatory ... -
Biomaterial-based endochondral bone regeneration: A shift from traditional tissue engineering paradigms to developmentally inspired strategies
(2019)There is an urgent, clinical need for an alternative to the use of autologous grafts for the ever increasing number of bone grafting procedures performed annually. Herein, we describe a developmentally inspired approach ... -
A Biomechanical and Microstructural Analysis of Bovine and Porcine Pericardium for Use in Bioprosthetic Heart Valves
(2021)Background: Animal-derived pericardium is a key material that enables the successful clinical use of bioprosthetic heart valves. Recently, transcatheter heart valves have placed more emphasis on the enhancement of this ... -
Biomechanical factors in the adaptations of insect tibia cuticle
(2016)Insects are among the most diverse groups of animals on Earth. Their cuticle exoskeletons vary greatly in terms of size and shape, and are subjected to different applied forces during daily activities. We investigated the ... -
Biomechanical studies of feline ventral abdominal wall and celiotomy closure techniques.
(2018)Objective: To compare biomechanical properties and mechanism of failure of 3 regions of ventral abdominal wall in cats by using 2 suture materials, 2 suture bite‐to‐stitch intervals (SBSI), and full‐thickness versus ... -
Biomechanics of ossiculoplasty
(Rila, 2003)Many different designs of prostheses are available for middle ear surgery. Clinical comparisons of such prostheses are often difficult because of the large number of variables involved in the clinical outcome; including ... -
Biomechanics of the stick insect antenna: Damping properties and structural correlates of the cuticle
(2011)The antenna of the Indian stick insect Carausius morosus is a highly specialized near-range sensory probe used to actively sample tactile cues about location, distance or shape of external objects in real time. The length ... -
Biomimetic Hyaluronic Acid-Lysozyme Composite Coating on AZ31 Mg Alloy with Combined Antibacterial and Osteoinductive Activities
(2017)This study presents the covalent grafting of a hyaluronic acid-lysozyme (HA-LZ) composite onto corrosion-resistant silane-coated AZ31 Mg alloy via EDC-NHS coupling reactions. The HA-LZ composite coatings created a smooth ... -
Bone tissue material properties are altered during osteoporosis
(Hylonome, 2005)Measurement of the effects of osteoporosis on the mechanical behavior of bone has been performed using whole bone testing, or testing of volumes of ovariectomized cancellous bone1-3 and these studies revealed a decrease ... -
Bovine pericardium of high fibre dispersion has high fatigue life and increased collagen content; potentially an untapped source of heart valve leaflet tissue
(2020)Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) are implanted in aortic valve stenosis patients to replace the native, dysfunctional valve. Yet, the long-term performance of the glutaraldehyde-fixed bovine pericardium (GLBP) leaflets ... -
Broadband Noise Source Location in Turbomachinery using a Conditioned Spectral Analysis Technique Coupled with Modal Decomposition
(2010)Methods are presented for the identification, viz., relative magnitude and spatial origin, of broadband and tonal noise sources within aeroengines. The methods require dynamic pressure measurements from sensors located ... -
Bubble enhanced heat transfer from a vertical heated surface
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)A rising bubble in a liquid can greatly enhance heat transfer from heated surfaces by acting like a bluff body, displacing fluid as it moves and via the wake generated by the bubble, increasing the mixing of the liquid. ... -
Bubble Impingement and the Mechanisms of Heat Transfer
(2014)Heat transfer augmentation resulting from the effects of two phase flow can play a significant role in convective cooling applications. To date, the interaction between a rising gas bubble impinging on a heated horizontal ...
