The objective of this study was to examine changes in the long bones of male C57BL/6J mice
with growth and aging, and to consider the applicability of this animal for use in studying …

To determine whether the mouse loses bone with aging and whether the changes mimic
those observed in human aging, we examined the changes in the tibial metaphysis and …

We studied articular calcified cartilage (ACC) and the immediately subchondral bone (SCB)
in normal and osteoarthritic human femoral heads. Thick slices of human normal reference …

The immune system is highly sensitive to stressors present during spaceflight. The major
emphasis of this study was on the T lymphocytes in C57BL/6NTac mice after return from a 13-…

The umbilical cord and its constituent tissues: an outer layer of amnion, porous Wharton's
jelly, two umbilical arteries, and one umbilical vein, are designed to protect blood flow to the …

Application of 3D printed structures via stereolithography (SLA) is limited by imprecise
dimensional control and inferior mechanical properties. These challenges is attributed to poor …

Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) have been used extensively in bone fracture repairs
and wound healing. It is accepted that the induced electric field is the dose metric. The …

Spaceflight affects numerous organ systems in the body, leading to metabolic dysfunction
that may have long-term consequences. Microgravity-induced alterations in liver metabolism, …

This study presents a comparative investigation into differences in the mechanical properties
between two hydrogels commonly used in cartilage tissue engineering [agarose vs. poly(…

The bone–cartilage, or osteochondral, interface resists remarkably high shear stresses and
rarely fails, yet its mechanical characteristics are largely unknown. A complete …
