Shuyang‘s collaboration work (Tra Vinikoor et al.) was published at Nature Communications! Many congratulations!
Shuyang contributed to the nanoindentation measurement that quantifies the degree of healing of the articular cartilage. The mechanical properties of healed cartilages must be similar with those of heathy cartilages. This work shows that nanoindentation can also be used to study bio-materials (tissue re-generation).
