Temperature evolution following joint loading promotes chondrogenesis by synergistic cues via calcium signaling

Dominique Pioletti, Jian Wang, Peyman Karami, Naser Nasrollahzadeh Mamaghani, Yanheng Guo

During loading of viscoelastic tissues, part of the mechanical energy is transformed into heat that can locally increase the tissue temperature, a phenomenon known as self-heating. In the framework of mechanobiology, it has been accepted that cells react a ...

In-situ photopolymerized and monitored implants: successful application to an intervertebral disc replacement

Dominique Pioletti, Christophe Moser, Andreas Schmocker, Azadeh Khoushabi

Photopolymerization is a common method to harden materials initially in a liquid state. A surgeon can directly trigger the solidification of a dental implant or a bone or tissue filler by using ultra-violet light. Traditionally, photopolymerization has bee ...

Intrinsic viscoelasticity increases temperature in knee cartilage under physiological loading

Dominique Pioletti, Philippe Abdel Sayed, Mohamadreza Nassajian Moghadam

Metabolism of proteoglycans and hyaluronic acid has been shown to be temperature- dependent in cartilage explants, with optimal anabolic effects between 36 1C and 38 1C. At rest, the temperature of human knee has a value of around 33 1C. We aim to show in ...

NIR Light-Mediated Photocuring of Adhesive Hydrogels for Noninvasive Tissue Repair via Upconversion Optogenesis

Dominique Pioletti, Christophe Moser, Peyman Karami, Antoine Vincent Boniface, Yanheng Guo, Vijay Kumar Rana, Qianyi Zhang

The surgical treatments of injured soft tissues lead to further injury due to the use of sutures or the surgical routes, which need to be large enough to insert biomaterials for repair. In contrast, the use of low viscosity photopolymerizable hydrogels tha ...
