#newinJBME #technicalbrief Prolonged axial loading does not alter the mechanical properties of the porcine annulus fibrosus. A trend toward increased adhesion strength variability in cyclically loaded samples suggests a potential risk for delamination. doi.org/10.1115/1.4065…

#newinJBME This #technicalbrief presents a self-adapting algorithm to detect gait phases such as toe-off and initial contact in real time using an inertial measurement unit, achieving a high detection success rate across varying walking speeds. doi.org/10.1115/1.4065…

#newinJBME This #technicalbrief demonstrates that 3D digital image correlation (3D-DIC) provides accurate kinematic measurements for non-penetrating blunt impacts, with advantages for assessing trauma from sports and military situations. doi.org/10.1115/1.4065…

#newinJBME A new lattice structure for bone tissue engineering shows improved permeability and significantly enhanced active cell proliferation area, making it a promising advancement over conventional scaffolds. doi.org/10.1115/1.4066…

#newinJBME Enzymatic digestion of intervertebral discs can significantly alter the mechanics of intradiscal injection and leakage, highlighting the need for caution when using this approach to simulate intervertebral disc degeneration. doi.org/10.1115/1.4066…
