On the Development of New Artificial Materials Mimicking Aortic Tissue Histological and Mechanical Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this work is to develop a new hyperelastic and anisotropic material mimicking histological and mechanical features of healthy and aneurysmal arterial tissues. The target material is constituted by rhombic periodic lattices of hyperelastic fibres embedded into a soft elastomer membrane. Based on a previous theoretical work yielding to an optimized microstructural arrangement and mechanical behaviour, this study provides experimental advances concerning the manufacturing of new fibrous membranes. Their mechanical characterization under various loadings is presented.

Overview on Vascular Tissue Engineering: Progress and Challenges
Today, vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis are one of the leading causes of death in the world and the prevalence of it in older societies is rising. The current treatments for repair of cardiovascular function include organ transplantation, surgical reconstruction, mechanical or artificial devices, or the use of metabolic products. Although these methods are commonly used, they did not g...

Objective(s): Bioactive silicate ceramics have favorable features for applying as off-the-shelf bone and artificial tissue. Calcium silicate can enhance the generation of an immediate bond with host bone without an intervening rough surface in the bone layer. However, the silicate bioceramics have some drawback regarding their mechanical properties and chemical stabilities. Materials and Method...
متن کاملTuning acoustic and mechanical properties of materials for ultrasound phantoms and smart substrates for cell cultures.
Materials with tailored acoustic properties are of great interest for both the development of tissue-mimicking phantoms for ultrasound tests and smart scaffolds for ultrasound mediated tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In this study, we assessed the acoustic properties (speed of sound, acoustic impedance and attenuation coefficient) of three different materials (agarose, polyacrylam...

Background and aim: The skin has some appendages that give origin to various tumors. These tumors are generally divided to pilosebaceous and sweat glands tumors according to embryologic and histological features. Clinical and histological characteristics of these tumors are also divergent. In addition, classification of them according to histological background has been changed considerably in ...

Objective(s): Atherosclerosis is a chronic immune-inflammatory disease that generally leads to ischemic heart disease. Ghrelin has several modulatory effects on cardiovascular system. In this study, we investigated the effect of ghrelin on aortic intima-media thickness, size and the number of adipocyte cells in obese and control mice. Materials and Methods:This study was conducted on 24 male C...
