Determination of Cryoprotectant Behavior, Physiological and Anatomical Characterization of the Porcine Meniscus as a Model for Future Meniscal Vitrification Studies
DownloadSpring 2016
The menisci hold significant, protective biomechanical function in the human knee and loss of meniscal functions have been linked to the development of osteoarthritis. Currently, irreparable or non-salvageable meniscal injuries undergo partial or total removal of injured menisci to alleviate...

Modeling the transport of cryoprotective agents in articular cartilage for cryopreservation
DownloadSpring 2011
Loading vitrifiable concentrations of cryoprotective agents is an important step for cryopreservation of biological tissues by vitrification for research and transplantation purposes. This may be done by immersing the tissue in a cryoprotective agent (CPA) solution, and increasing the...
