..., without a gross fracture of bone. Three rabbits received a single, 13 J of energy blunt insult to the TF joint, while another three animals were used as controls. Cell viability analyses compared chondrocyte damage in impacted versus control cartilage. Two additional rabbits were impacted to document...

... the entire cell population with two distinct and measurable subpopulations of cells, in which each cell is in one of the two microstates, viable (live) and damaged (dead), respectively. The resulting cell viability can be expressed as C ( τ , T ) = exp ( − Φ ( τ , T ) ∕ k T ) ∕ ( 1 + exp ( − Φ ( τ , T ) ∕ k...

...Marissa Nichole Rylander; Kenneth R. Diller; Sihong Wang; Shanti J. Aggarwal Thermal preconditioning protocols for cardiac cells were identified which produce elevated HSP70 levels while maintaining high cell viability. Bovine aortic endothelial cells were heated with a water bath at temperatures...
