(Annual Reviews, 1999-08-01)▪ Abstract The microcirculation represents a region of the circulation in which blood vessels are directly surrounded by the tissue and cells to which they supply nutrients and from which they collect metabolites. The ...
-
(Annual Reviews, 2001-08-01)▪ Abstract Trabecular bone is a complex material with substantial heterogeneity. Its elastic and strength properties vary widely across anatomic sites, and with aging and disease. Although these properties depend very ...
-
(Annual Reviews, 2003-08-01)▪ Abstract Wireless biomonitoring, first used in human beings for fetal heart-rate monitoring more than 30 years ago, has now become a technology for remote sensing of patients' activity, blood pulse pressure, oxygen ...
-
(Annual Reviews, 2000-08-01)▪ Abstract Electrical shock trauma tends to produce a very complex pattern of injury, mainly because of the multiple modes of frequency-dependent tissue-field interactions. Historically, Joule heating was thought to be ...
-
(Annual Reviews, 1999-08-01)▪ Abstract Hematopoietic cell culture, or ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic cells, is an enabling technology with many potential applications in bone-marrow transplantation, immunotherapy, gene therapy, and the production ...
-
(Annual Reviews, 2005-08-01)▪ Abstract Accurate, fast, and affordable analysis of the cellular component of blood is of prime interest for medicine and research. Yet, most often sample preparation procedures for blood analysis involve handling steps ...
-
(Annual Reviews, 2003-08-01)▪ Abstract Knowledge of blood vessel mechanical properties is fundamental to the understanding of vascular function in health and disease. Analytic results can help physicians in the clinic, both in designing and in ...
-
(Annual Reviews, 2004-08-01)▪ Abstract Tissue engineering has the potential to redefine rehabilitation for the breast cancer patient by providing a translatable strategy that restores the postmastectomy breast mound while concomitantly obviating ...
-
(Annual Reviews, 2001-08-01)▪ Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) is a remarkable free radical gas whose presence in biological systems and whose astonishing breadth of physiological and pathophysiological activities have only recently been recognized. ...
-
(Annual Reviews, 2001-08-01)▪ Abstract The heart requires a large amount of energy to sustain both ionic homeostasis and contraction. Under normal conditions, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production meets this demand. Hence, there is a complex ...
-
(Annual Reviews, 2000-08-01)▪ Abstract Recent studies suggest that there are multiple regulatory pathways by which chondrocytes in articular cartilage sense and respond to mechanical stimuli, including upstream signaling pathways and mechanisms that ...
-
(Annual Reviews, 2000-08-01)▪ Abstract As the basic unit of life, the cell is a biologically complex system, the understanding of which requires a combination of various approaches including biomechanics. With recent progress in cell and molecular ...
-
(Annual Reviews, 1999-08-01)▪ Abstract Ionic and molecular transfer among cells occurs by a variety of transport processes operative at different length scales. Cell membrane permeability and electrical conductance derive from channel proteins ...
-
(Annual Reviews, 2003-08-01)▪ Abstract The history of cochlear implants is marked by large improvements in performance, especially over the past two decades and especially due to the development of ever-better processing strategies. Although the ...
-
(Annual Reviews, 2001-08-01)▪ Abstract Recent interest in using modeling and simulation to study movement is driven by the belief that this approach can provide insight into how the nervous system and muscles interact to produce coordinated motion ...
-
(Annual Reviews, 2001-08-01)▪ Abstract A number of technological innovations are yielding unprecedented data on the networks of biochemical, genetic, and biophysical reactions that underlie cellular behavior and failure. These networks are composed ...
-
(Annual Reviews, 2000-08-01)▪ Abstract Cryosurgery is a surgical technique that employs freezing to destroy undesirable tissue. Developed first in the middle of the nineteenth century it has recently incorporated new imaging technologies and is a ...
-
(Annual Reviews, 2000-08-01)▪ Abstract Image segmentation plays a crucial role in many medical-imaging applications, by automating or facilitating the delineation of anatomical structures and other regions of interest. We present a critical appraisal ...
-
(Annual Reviews, 2002-08-01)▪ Abstract Heating therapies are increasingly used in cardiology, dermatology, gynecology, neurosurgery, oncology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, and urology, among other medical specialties. This widespread use of heating ...
-
(Annual Reviews, 2005-08-01)▪ Abstract An enormous literature has been developed on investigations of the growth and guidance of axons during development and after injury. In this review, we provide a guide to this literature as a resource for ...
