23. Lessons of ALS imaging: Pitfalls and future directions - A critical review.
(2014)Stereotypical shortcomings can be identified in ALS neuroimaging studies. • A systematic discussion of ALS study limitations is particularly timely. • Individual patient data meta-analyses and multicentre ... -
Age-related responses to injury and repair in insect cuticle
(The Company of Biologists Ltd, 2019)We evaluated the ability of female adult desert locusts (Schistocercagregaria) to repair injuries to their exoskeletons and restore mechanical strength over the course of their natural life. We discovered that younger ... -
Altering the architecture of tissue engineered hypertrophic cartilaginous grafts facilitates vascularisation and accelerates mineralisation.
(2014)Cartilaginous tissues engineered using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be leveraged to generate bone in vivo by executing an endochondral program, leading to increased interest in the use of such hypertrophic grafts ... -
Analysing interactive devices based on information resource constraints
(2014)Analysis of the usability of an interactive system requires both an understanding of how the system is to be used and a means of assessing the system against that understanding. Such analytic assessments are particularly ... -
An anisotropic inelastic constitutive model to describe stress softening and permanent deformation in arterial tissue
(2012)Inelastic phenomena such as softening and unrecoverable inelastic strains induced by loading have been observed experimentally in soft tissues such as arteries. These phenomena need to be accounted for in constitutive ... -
The anisotropic mechanical behaviour of passive skeletal muscle tissue subjected to large tensile strain
(2013)The passive mechanical properties of muscle tissue are important for many biomechanics applications. However, significant gaps remain in our understanding of the three-dimensional tensile response of passive skeletal ... -
Apparent behaviour of charged and neutral materials with ellipsoidal fibre distributions and cross-validation of finite element implementations
(2012)Continuous fibre distribution models can be applied to a variety of biological tissues with both charged and neutral extracellular matrices. In particular, ellipsoidal models have been used to describe the complex material ... -
Assessment of the accuracy of an ultrasound elastography liver scanning system using a PVA-cryogel phantom with optimal acoustic and mechanical properties
(2010)The accuracy of a transient elastography liver-scanning ultrasound system was assessed using a novel application of PVA-cryogel as a tissue-mimicking material with acoustic and shear elasticity properties optimized to ... -
Biomaterials and scaffolds for tissue engineering
(2011)Every day thousands of surgical procedures are performed to replace or repair tissue that has been damaged through disease or trauma. The developing field of tissue engineering (TE) aims to regenerate damaged tissues by ... -
Biomechanics of the stick insect antenna: Damping properties and structural correlates of the cuticle
(2011)The antenna of the Indian stick insect Carausius morosus is a highly specialized near-range sensory probe used to actively sample tactile cues about location, distance or shape of external objects in real time. The length ... -
Biophysical stimuli induced by passive movements compensate for lack of skeletal muscle during embryonic skeletogenesis
(2011)In genetically modified mice with abnormal skeletal muscle development, bones and joints are differentially affected by the lack of skeletal muscle.We hypothesise that unequal levels of biophysical stimuli in the ...
