Abstract: ObjectivesStentless bioprosthetic valves provide hemodynamic advantages over stented valves as well as excellent durability. However, some primary tissue failures in bioprostheses have been reported. This study was conducted to evaluate the morphometrical and biomechanical properties… read more here.

Abstract: Tears in the annulus fibrosus (AF) of the intervertebral disk can result in disk herniation and progressive degeneration. Understanding AF failure mechanics is important as research moves toward developing biological repair strategies for herniated disks.… read more here.
