Hyaline cartilage is a strong and flexible connective tissue found throughout the human body. It provides important structural and functional support for the nose, ribs, larynx, and trachea. Due to the avascular nature of the hyaline cartilage, its defects or lesions are non-regeneratable and...

A 3D Continuum Finite Element Muscle Model for the Investigation of Cervical Spine Load-Sharing Mechanisms and Injury Assessment during Impact Loading Scenarios
DownloadFall 2018
The mechanical behavior of the individual cervical tissues as well as the head-neck complex kinematics plays a very important role in proper functioning of the cervical spine and is a key factor in more appropriate understanding of injury mechanism, prevention, detection, control and treatment....

Shrestha, S., Hogan, J.D., Ramesh, K.T. , Venkatesan, A., Fournier, A.J., Rajbhandari, L.
Although a number of cytoskeletal derangements have been described in the setting of traumatic axonal injury (TAI), little is known of early structural changes that may serve to initiate a cascade of further axonal degeneration. Recent work by the authors has examined conformational changes in...

McGann, L. E., Elliott, J. A., Ross-Rodriguez, L. U.
Cryopreservation currently is the only method for long-term preservation of cellular viability and function for uses in cellular therapies. Characterizing the cryobiological response of a cell type is essential in the approach to designing and optimizing cryopreservation protocols. For cells used...

Yu, H., Jomha, N. M., Elliott, J. A., Al-Abbasi, K. K., McGann, L. E.
In previous research, we successfully cryopreserved intact human articular cartilage on its bone base with high chondrocyte viability using a vitrification protocol that entailed sequential exposure to several cryopreserving agents (CPAs) at lowering temperatures resulting in a high final...

Cryopreserved amniotic membrane as transplant allograft: viability and post-transplant outcome
Download2015-09-11
Hayward, K., Holovati, J.L. , Mokoena, T., Marquez-Curtis, L.A., Perepelkin, N.M.J., Elliott, J.A.W. , Bentley, M.J., McGann, L.E., Ross-Rodriguez, L.U.
Amniotic membrane (AM) transplantation is increasingly used in ophthalmological and dermatological surgeries to promote re-epithelialization and wound healing. Biologically active cells in the epithelial and stromal layers deliver growth factors and cytokines with anti-inflammatory,...

Large articular cartilage defects have proven difficult to treat and often result in osteoarthritis of the affected joint. Cryopreservation of articular cartilage can provide an increased supply of tissues for osteochondral allograft but cryoprotective agents are required; however, few studies...

Background Vitrification is a method of cryopreservation by which cells and tissues can be preserved at low temperatures using cryoprotective agents (CPAs) at high concentrations (typically ⩾6.0 M) to limit the harmful effects of ice crystals that can form during cooling processes. However, at...
