  • Articular Cartilage Tissue Engineering
    Eric M. Darling / Jerry C. Hu / Kyriacos Athanasiou
    Cartilage injuries in children and adolescents are increasingly observed, with roughly 20% of knee injuries in adolescents requiring surgery. In the US alone, costs of osteoarthritis (OA) are in excess of $65 billion per year (both medical costs and lost wages). Comorbidities are common with OA and are also costly to manage. Articular cartilage’s low friction and high capacity ...

  • Tissue Engineering of Temporomandibular Joint Cartilage
    Alejandro J. Almarza / Kyriacos Athanasiou / Michael S. Detamore
    The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a site of intense morbidity for millions of people, especially young, pre-menopausal women. Central to TMJ afflictions are the cartilaginous tissues of the TMJ, especially those of the disc and condylar cartilage, which play crucial roles in normal function of this unusual joint. Damage or disease to these tissues significantly impacts a pat...

  • Engineering the Knee Meniscus
    Johannah Sanchez-Adams / Kyriacos Athanasiou
    The knee meniscus was once thought to be a vestigial tissue, but is now known to be instrumental in imparting stability, shock absorption, load transmission, and stress distribution within the knee joint. Unfortunately, most damage to the meniscus cannot be effectively healed by the body. Meniscus tissue engineering offers a possible solution to this problem by striving to crea...

  • Introduction to Continuum Biomechanics
    Kyriacos Athanasiou / Roman Natoli
    This book is concerned with the study of continuum mechanics applied to biological systems, i.e., continuum biomechanics. This vast and exciting subject allows description of when a bone may fracture due to excessive loading, how blood behaves as both a solid and fluid, down to how cells respond to mechanical forces that lead to changes in their behavior, a process known as mec...
