Matrix metalloproteinase‐9 regulates cell adhesion and membrane protrusive activity of ovarian cancer cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP9) drives ovarian cancer progression. Using MMP9‐null cells (M9‐KO) created from ovarian cancer cells, we found MMP9 loss did not block Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)‐driven E‐cadherin dissolution or EMT but delayed and reduced EGF‐driven membrane protrusions. Transient MMP9 re‐expression drove membrane protrusion.

Seven-Core Fiber Composite Structures-Based Mach-Zehnder Interferometer for Bending and Temperature Measurement

Photonic Sensors
In the paper, an optical fiber sensor based on a seven-core fiber composite structure is presented, which enables dual-parameter sensing of bending and temperature. The proposed structure is fabricated by combining the strongly-coupled seven-core fibers (

Hyperactive ice‐binding proteins stabilize cell membranes and improve resistance to dehydration stress in Caenorhabditis elegans

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

Experimental Investigation of Vertical Density Profile of Medium Density Fiberboard in Hot Press

Applied Sciences, 2021
This research investigates the performance of medium density fiberboard (MDF) with respect to hot press parameters. The performance of the board, type of glue, and production efficiency determine the optimum temperature and pressure for hot pressing. The

The Role of Calcitonin Gene‐Related Peptide in High‐Altitude Headache: A Prospective Field Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective High‐altitude headache (HAH) is a common neurological condition associated with rapid ascent to high altitude. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying HAH remain incompletely understood. Calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP), a neuropeptide implicated in migraine pathophysiology, may play a key role in the pathophysiology of ...

Bending of functionally graded plates via a refined quasi-3D shear and normal deformation theory

Curved and Layered Structures, 2018
Bending of functionally graded plate with two reverse simply supported edges is studied based upon a refined quasi three-dimensional (quasi-3D) shear and normal deformation theory using a third-order shape function.
