A Deterministic Time-Dependent Resilience-Based Measure for Disaster Recovery in Business Continuity Applications

IEEE Access
Resilience is generally defined as the ability of a system or entity to recover from a disruptive event. From an engineering perspective, the resilience of a system needs to be quantified to measure and assess its recoverability. Current resilience-based

Timing Mechanotransduction: Mechanically Dynamic Biomaterials Reveal the Temporal Hierarchy of YAP/TAZ Control Nodes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work develops dynamically softening polyacrylamide hydrogels for time‐resolved imaging during continuous mechanical transitions. The study revealed that mechanotransduction is biphasic; YAP/TAZ inactivation is driven by early loss of the nucleocytoskeletal continuum connecting subnuclear adhesions, F‐actin, and the nuclear envelope, coupled with ...
