A single application of cyclic compression (1kPa, 1Hz, 30min) to bioengineered cartilage
results in improved tissue formation through sequential catabolic and anabolic changes …

We have shown previously that cyclic compression of newly forming bioengineered
cartilage in vitro results in improved tissue formation via changes in expression of matrix …

The inferior biomechanical properties of in vitro–formed tissue remain a significant obstacle
in bioengineering articular cartilage tissue. We have previously shown that cyclic …

Total hip replacement is considered to be a highly successful and routine surgery; however,
the internal components produce particles through friction and wear in the device. These …

A single application of cyclic compression to bioengineered cartilage improves tissue
formation through cell shape changes that are mediated by α5β1 integrin and membrane-type …

Background: Trauma is considered a key component of surgical training. However, recent
changes in practice patterns and training paradigms have resulted in a critical review of …

… We thank Sandra Stals, Lisa Kellenberger, Ed Hadzocos, Igal Raizman, Carolyn Cesta
and the staff of McMaster University Central Animal Facility (CAF) for their excellent technical …

Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) improve insulin sensitivity and maintain beta cell mass. This
study examined whether this effect is attributable to improved mitochondrial function in the …

Stalin-era cinema was designed to promote emotional and affective education. The filmmakers
of the period were called to help forge the emotions and affects that befitted the New …

Between 1947 and 1953, the Soviet Union produced fourteen biographical films about
writers, composers, and scientists. These films supported the cultural policies of the …
