MIT probes cartilage on nanoscale

ric forcesor those that result when one simply presses down on a tissuealso played a role. "Our primary goals are a total deconvolution of the individual force components, a complete understanding of how they are related to each other, and how they lead to macroscopic biomechanical properties," the team writes.

Ortiz notes that "since multiple forces acting in tandem are a hallmark of most other areas of biophysics, polymer physics, and surface science, this new methodology will have far-reaching implications.

In the near future, said Grodzinsky, the team also plans to look at the molecular behavior of diseased cartilage.
