@ChawlaDipul’s latest publication on cartilage damage is now out in @MechBioMat: Articular cartilage fatigue causes frequency-dependent softening and crack extension. https://t.co/QGL8SeSnVm

[Henak Lab @HenakLab]

We have an open #postdoc position on a new NIH award focused on redox biology in cartilage and the development of a therapeutic screen platform.

[JBME Editors @JBMEjournal]

#newinJBME This #technicalbrief from @JDRothPhD describes the design and validation of a four-actuator experiment to measure the shear modulus of fibrous tissues at different tensile loads, with applications in tendon and ligament biomechanics. https://t.co/iCBDNYToiH

When you’re planning out your schedule for @SB3Corg make sure you catch our workshop “Biomechanics, Bioengineering & Biotransport (B3): Clinical Perspective” on Thursday 6/13 from 2-3:30 in Linwood!

[Henak Lab @HenakLab]

We have an open #postdoc position focused on computational modeling to predict fracture risk in racing Thoroughbreds. Please RT and share!

[Henak Lab @HenakLab]

Relationships between structure (bone density) and function (strain) will guide ongoing steps in reducing the risk of injury in racing Thoroughbreds.

[Henak Lab @HenakLab]

Subchondral bone injury in Thoroughbreds results in elevated strains, now out in @mechbiomat. A study in collaboration with @uwvetmed and @cwhitton1, led by @Irandoust_S and generously funded by @Grayson_JC. https://t.co/4NnePMXPwi

[Henak Lab @HenakLab]

Differences between control bones and those with fatigue injury were evident in bone density distributions.

Congratulations to Daniel Pearce who won an Award for Mentoring Undergraduates in Research, Scholarly and Creative Activities! The Office of the Provost offers awards to recognize exceptional mentors. Support him as he receives the award today at 4pm Varsity Hall, Union South.

[SB3C Organizers @SB3Corg]

Many thanks to the @UWMechEngr and @UWMadison_BME at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for being a joint student event sponsor for SB3C 2024!

[BadgerAthPerformance @UWBadgerAP]

We're #hiring a #postdoc for post-op outcomes research. This position will work w/ BAP & the UW Hip Preservation Program, lead by @DrAndreaSpiker. Please share w/ your networks!

PS2 #ORS2024 oxygen tension effects on cartilage impact

[Henak Lab @HenakLab]

Ready for PS2 at #ORS2024

[Henak Lab @HenakLab]

Soroush at the busy #ORS2024 poster session. Lots of great discussion!

[Henak Lab @HenakLab]

How does cartilage fail? We explore 3 possible mechanisms via FE: collagen fibril governed; brittle vs ductile failure as a function of loading rate; pressurization fragmentation vs strain-governed as a function of loading rate. In #JMBBM.

[Henak Lab @HenakLab]

Oxygen tension alters the effect of impact loading on cartilage redox balance, with cartilage under low oxygen tension less affected by impact loading than cartilage under room oxygen tension. Check out Jingyi's poster video:
