Micro- and nanostructure specific X-ray tomography reveals less matrix formation and altered collagen organization following re duce d loading during Achilles tendon healing

Marianne Liebi

Recovery of the collagen structure following Achilles tendon rupture is poor, resulting in a high risk for re-ruptures. The loading environment during healing affects the mechanical properties of the tendon, but the relation between loading regime and heal ...

Aging and matrix viscoelasticity affect multiscale tendon properties and tendon derived cell behavior

Yann Tinguely

Aging is the largest risk factor for Achilles tendon associated disorders and rupture. Although Achilles tendon macroscale elastic properties are suggested to decline with aging, less is known about the effect of maturity and aging on multiscale viscoelast ...

Alignment of collagen fiber in knitted silk scaffold for functional massive rotator cuff repair

Dominique Pioletti, Ting Zhu

Rotator cuff tear is one of the most common types of shoulder injuries, often resulting in pain and physical debilitation. Allogeneic tendon-derived decellularized matrices do not have appropriate pore size and porosity to facilitate cell infiltration, whi ...

Effects of a neuromuscular controller on a powered ankle exoskeleton during human walking

Auke Ijspeert, Arash Arami, Florin Dzeladini, Amy Roning Wu, Daniel Renjewski

Wearable devices to assist abnormal gaits require controllers that interact with the user in an intuitive and unobtrusive manner. To design such a controller, we investigated a bio-inspired walking controller for orthoses and prostheses. We present (i) a S ...

Effect of Patient Specific Parameters on Degenerative Shoulder Diseases

Christoph Anselm Engelhardt

Osteoarthritis and rotator cuff tears are two common and wide spread shoulder diseases leading to significant restrictions in the daily life of the affected. The pathogenesis is not fully understood yet. A chronic process triggered by multiple causes is as ...

Imidazoacridinone-dependent lysosomal photodestruction: a pharmacological Trojan horse approach to eradicate multidrug-resistant cancers

Hubert van den Bergh, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska

Multidrug resistance (MDR) remains a primary hindrance to curative cancer therapy. Thus, introduction of novel strategies to overcome MDR is of paramount therapeutic significance. Sequestration of chemotherapeutics in lysosomes is an established mechanism ...

Modeling perceptual learning: why mice do not play backgammon

Michael Herzog, Carl Kristoffer Aberg

Perceptual learning is often considered one of the simplest and basic forms of learning in general. Accordingly, it is usually modeled with simple and basic neural networks which show good results in grasping the empirical data. Simple meets simple. Comple ...
