Apparent behaviour of charged and neutral materials with ellipsoidal fibre distributions and cross-validation of finite element implementations
KELLY, DANIEL; NAGEL, THOMAS (2012)Continuous fibre distribution models can be applied to a variety of biological tissues with both charged and neutral extracellular matrices. In particular, ellipsoidal models have been used to describe the complex material ... -
Mechanically induced structural changes during dynamic compression of engineered cartilaginous constructs can potentially explain increases in bulk mechanical properties.
NAGEL, THOMAS; KELLY, DANIEL (2012)Several studies on chondrocyte seeded hydrogels in bioreactor culture report increased mechanical properties of mechanically loaded constructs compared to unloaded free swelling controls despite no significant differences ... -
Mechano-regulation of mesenchymal stem cell differentiation and collagen organisation during skeletal tissue repair
KELLY, DANIEL; NAGEL, THOMAS (2009)A number of mechano-regulation theories have been proposed that relate the differentiation pathway of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to their local biomechanical environment. During spontaneous repair processes in skeletal ... -
Postnatal changes to the mechanical properties of articular cartilage are driven by the evolution of its collagen network
KELLY, DANIEL; NAGEL, THOMAS; GANNON, ALANNA (2015)While it is well established that the composition and organisation of articular cartilage dramatically change during skeletal maturation, relatively little is known about how this impacts the mechanical properties of the ...
