    • Hypoxia-induced collagen crosslinking as a mechanism for enhancing mechanical properties of engineered articular cartilage 

      Makris, E. A.; Hu, J. C.; Athanasiou, K. A. (2013)
      Objective: The focus of tissue engineering of neocartilage has traditionally been on enhancing extracellular matrix and thus biomechanical properties. Emphasis has been placed on the enhancement of collagen type and quantity, ...
    • Induced Collagen Cross-Links Enhance Cartilage Integration 

      Athens, A. A.; Makris, E. A.; Hu, J. C. (2013)
      Articular cartilage does not integrate due primarily to a scarcity of cross-links and viable cells at the interface. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that lysyl-oxidase, a metalloenzyme that forms ...
    • The whole genome sequence of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), reveals insights into the biology and adaptive evolution of a highly invasive pest species
