Modelling plastic deformation in a single-crystal nickel-based superalloy using discrete dislocation dynamics by Bing Lin, Minsheng Huang, Farukh Farukh, Anish Roy, Vadim Silberschmidt, Liguo Zhao

“…Methods: In this paper, plastic deformation in a single-crystal nickel-based superalloy CMSX4 at elevated temperature was modelled using discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD). The DDD approach was implemented using a representative volume element with explicitly-introduced precipitate and periodic boundary condition. …”

Stem cells in degenerative orthopaedic pathologies: effects of aging on therapeutic potential by Kivanc Atesok, Freddie H. Fu, Ichiro Sekiya, Alexandra Stolzing, Mitsuo Ochi, Scott A. Rodeo

“…© 2015 European Society of Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery, Arthroscopy (ESSKA) Purpose: The purpose of this study was to summarize the current evidence on the use of stem cells in the elderly population with degenerative orthopaedic pathologies and to highlight the pathophysiologic mechanisms behind today’s therapeutic challenges in stem cell-based regeneration of destructed tissues in the elderly patients with osteoarthritis (OA), degenerative disc disease (DDD), and tendinopathies.Methods: Clinical and basic science studies that report the use of stem cells in the elderly patients with OA, DDD, and tendinopathies were identified using a PubMed search. …”
