Mucus and ciliated cells of human lung : splitting strategies for particle methods and 3D stokes flows [PDF]

, 2012
Lung walls are covered by a film of mucus, whose motility is fundamental for a healthy behavior. Indeed, mucus traps inhaled aerosols (bacteria, dust, ...), and moves from smallest to largest airways, until it reaches esophagus where is it swallowed or ...

Pattern selection in a biomechanical model for the growth of walled cells [PDF]

, 2015
In this paper, we analyse a model for the growth of three-dimensional walled cells. In this model the biomechanical expansion of the cell is coupled with the geometry of its wall. We consider that the density of building material depends on the curvature

PSMD14 Stabilizes SLC7A11 to Ameliorate Glucocorticoid‐Induced Osteoporosis by Suppressing Osteocyte Ferroptosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Glucocorticoid‐induced osteoporosis (GIOP) triggers osteocyte ferroptosis via SLC7A11 degradation. PSMD14 stabilizes SLC7A11 by counteracting glucocorticoid‐driven ubiquitination, preserving cystine uptake and glutathione synthesis. AAV‐mediated PSMD14 delivery or its agonist Pantethine rescues osteocyte survival and bone loss in GIOP mice.
