"Biomechanical Blueprint for Knee Cartilage"
Rob Schinagl's work on determining the variation
in the compressive modulus of knee cartilage as a function of depth from
the articular surface has been cited in the news releases, linked below. For
his presentation of this study (Schinagl RM, Ting MK, Price JH, Gough DA,
Sah RL: Video microscopy to quantitate the inhomogeneous strain within articular
cartilage during confined compression. ASME Advances in Bioengineering BED-26:303-306,
1993) at the 1993 Winter Annual Meeting of the ASME, Rob was a Finalist in
the Doctoral Student Competition.
Figure. Composite,
epifluorescent micrographs of Hoechst 33258-stained chondrocyte nuclei within
full-thickness bovine articular cartilage subjected to graded levels of
equilibrium confined compression. Images have been filtered and thresholded,
so that chondrocyte nuclei appear as white objects on a black background.
Uncompressed tissue sample is shown (top) followed by sample at graded levels
of compression below (8, 16, 24, and 32% of uncompressed cartilage thickness).
Arrows and circles indicate tracking of nuclei from reference state through
each level of compression. Reprinted with permission from Schinagl et al.,
1997.
