Simulation results for optical metamaterials (MTMs) derived from active coated nano-particle (CNP) inclusions for operation in the visible range of the spectrum between 400nm and 700nm are presented. Several examples of optical MTMs designed with these inclusions are characterized, including two-dimensional (2D) CNP metafilms; three-dimensional (3D ...

Natriuretic peptide receptors regulate cytoprotective effects in an ex vivo human 3D/bioreactor model [PDF]
IntroductionThe present study examined the effect of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and biomechanical signals on anabolic and catabolic activities in chondrocyte/agarose constructs.MethodsNatriuretic peptide (Npr) 2 and 3 expression were compared in ...

Natriuretic peptide and exercise
Natriuretic peptide (NP) release is mainly stimulated by stretching of the myocardium. NP causes diuresis, natriuresis and vasodilation. NP release increases during exercise. Increased NP plays a counter-regulatory role in increased blood pressure during

Biomechanical signals and the C-type natriuretic peptide counteract catabolic activities induced by IL-1? in chondrocyte/agarose constructs [PDF]
Introduction: The present study examined the effect of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) on the anabolic and catabolic activities in chondrocyte/agarose constructs subjected to dynamic compression.

Viagra releases the brakes on melanoma growth
Use of the phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) blocker sildenafil (Viagra) has been linked to an increased risk of melanoma. In a recent study we discovered a growth-promoting cGMP pathway in melanoma cells.

C-Type Natriuretic Peptide Plays an Anti-Inflammatory Role in Rat Epididymitis Induced by UPEC
Human epididymitis is mainly caused by retrograde urinary tract infection with uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). This disease is an important factor (accounting for 20–30%) causing male infertility.
