Abstract

A Biomimetic Design of the Artificial Intervertebral Disc In article number 2200254 Wei Lei, Mingjie Liu, Yang Zhang, and co-workers fabricate biomimetic prototype of artificial intervertebral disc with nature-mimicking mechanics and structure. The design possesses an angle-ply fiber scaffold with multi-scale structural hierarchy, which exhibits osmotic behaviors, non-linear viscoelasticity and durability, enduring it with a great potential for total cervical disc replacement in future.
