Mechanisms and biochemical

Both mechanics and biochemical studies of muscle fibers suggest there is more than one force generating state. Crossbridges are thought to attach initially as... 

Figure 7.3. All skeletal tissues arise from a single cell type, the mesenchymal stem cell. Differentiation into bone, cartilage, muscle, or ligament occurs in response to the mechanical and biochemical stimuli of the stem cell s environment.

The function of the digestive system is to make ingested food available to the cells of the body. Most ingested food is in the form of very large molecules that must be broken down by mechanical and biochemical processes into their smaller components (see Table 18.1). These smaller units are then absorbed across the wall of the digestive tract and distributed throughout the body. Not all ingested materials may be completely...

Applications of C13 NMR have included studies of molecular structure and stereochemistry, reaction mechanisms, and biochemical pathways amino acids, proteins, and nucleotides have been studied.

There are cellular, mechanical, and biochemical processes that continually remodel and repair heaithy joint cartilage. When these processes are altered, as in OA, the disruption leads to degenerative changes of the joint and abnormal... 

The multiscale system also appears to be capable of providing more enhanced biological functionality, particularly for vascularization, which is favored by the interaction of ECs with the nanofibrous network.s that allow suitable cell architecture and orientation for microtubule formation. Thus, the synergistic effect of micro- and nanoscales could successfully regenerate natural tissues in vivo in the near future. Future work should focus on optimizing this process to better recapitulate key features of the native ECM, including its mechanical and biochemical properties, which would enhance the functionality of these 3D multiscale scaffolds in order to fabricate functional tissue engineered constructs.

Matthews, 2000). A phosphate salt solution and an aqueous suspension of HAp powder were used as an electrolyte for PEO and EPD, respectively. The corrosion resistance was assessed by potentiodynamic polarisation tests in a buffered physiological solution (see also Kwok et al., 2009). The results of this study indicated that a hybrid combination of PEO and EPD produces an osseoconductive phase-pure ITAp layer and an anticorrosive titania interlayer that promise to provide good mechanical and biochemical stability in the highly corrosive environment of the human body. Other studies involving titania bond coats include Albayrak and Altintas, 2010 Paluszkiewicz, Dlugon andKwiatek, 2012 Rath etal., 2012 and Jain etal. (2013). 

Another approach that ultimately may produce some important therapeutic results is to modulate cytokine functions. One encounters a labyrinthine maze when one views the known actions and effects of the 10 or so interleukins. First, a given cytokine has several biological functions. Furthermore, frequently any given function is mediated by two or more cytokines. Many functions provide pathological results. However, once their molecular mechanisms and biochemical pathways are understood, then decreasing the cytokine s levels or blocking its effects can produce new therapeutic modalities. Of course, their beneficial attributes can be directly exploited for therapeutic purposes.
