The Development of a Computational Test-Bed to Assess Coronary Stent Implantation
(2013-03-15)The implantation behaviour of coronary stents is of great interest to clinicians and engineers alike as in-stent restenosis (ISR) remains a critical issue with the community. ISR is hypothesized to occur for ... -
The Role of the Actin Cytoskeleton in the Response of Chondrocytes to Mechanical Loading: A Computational and Experimental Investigation
(2012-09-28)The biomechanisms which govern the response of chondrocytes to mechanical stimuli are poorly understood. This thesis aims to provide a more in depth understanding of chondrocyte biomechanics by focusing on the role of actin ...
