Introduction Glycation of proteins is a natural process that enhances bio lubrication at soft-to-hard tissue interfaces which is crucial for biological surfaces like the oral cavity, eyes, and joints. Glycoproteins are the primary lubricants on […]
Introduction Over the past decade, several methods have been developed to measure the mechanical properties of live cells, with atomic force microscopy (AFM) based indentation testing being the most common. AFM indentation quantifies both elastic […]
Introduction Wine, especially red wine is a complex mixture of water, ethanol, and thousands of organic compounds which helps in its aroma, taste, and mouthfeel and acts as a key factor in the sensory experience […]
Introduction Metallic alloys are more commonly used in medical implants than any other pure metals because they offer improved mechanical and tribological properties along with biocompatibility. In the 1920s, stainless steel alloy (18-8 SS) was […]
Introduction Bioceramics are the materials that are biocompatible and can be classified into three categories: bioinert, biodegradable, and bioactive. Bioinert ceramics are non-toxic and do not interact with living tissues. Biodegradable ceramics are gradually resorbed […]
Cartilage degeneration is due to osteoarthritis (OA) which is commonly seen in aging populations. This degeneration occurs due to the deterioration of the mechanical and tribological properties of articular cartilage (AC), primarily caused by lubrication […]
Introduction Tribology test methods have been widely applied to semi-solid foods and particulate systems, but detailed interpretation is still lacking. Friction results are typically analyzed using classical lubrication mechanisms like the Stribeck curve, which differentiates […]
Introduction The human body is a dynamic and challenging environment for implanted medical devices due to its ever-changing conditions within the body that can significantly affects the functionality and longevity of these devices. Therefore, it […]
Introduction From a food consumption perspective, aging brings about challenges related to eating ability, saliva production, sensory perception in the mouth, swallowing, and digestion, all of which impact overall nutrient intake. To address these issues, […]
Introduction Welcome to the fascinating world of Biotribology, an emerging field exploring friction, wear and lubrication in biological environments, particularly in the context of biocompatible interactions with implantable devices. This article highlighted into the unique […]
