A Theoretical Study on the Mechanical Significance of Mineralized Collagen Fibril Orientation in Osteonal Lamellar Bone

Düzce Üniversitesi Bilim ve Teknoloji Dergisi, 2021
In this study, the effect of orientation of mineralized collagen fibrils on bone mechanical properties relating to bone anisotropy was studied using data obtained from rehydrated lamellar bone samples. The dehydration-rehydration based and experimentally

The Transient Mechanics of Muscle Require Only a Single Force-Producing Cross-Bridge State and a 100 Å Working Stroke

Biology, 2020
An informative probe of myosin cross-bridge behaviour in active muscle is a mechanical transient experiment where, for example, a fully active muscle initially held at constant length is suddenly shortened to a new fixed length, providing a force ...

Vitamin D Supplementation Improves Uterine Receptivity in a Rat Model of Vitamin D Deficiency: A Possible Role of HOXA-10/FKBP52 Axis

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Synchronized uterine receptivity with the time of implantation is crucial for pregnancy continuity. Vitamin D (VD) deficiency has been linked to the failure of implantation.

Paleoenvironment and Expansion and Contraction of ancient societies on the basis of geomythology (a case study of ancient Iran) [PDF]

مطالعات جغرافیایی مناطق خشک
Aim: This study seeks to challenge many existing studies on ancient Iran in different areas such as archeology, history, culture, and society to set a new theoretical framework to study the abovementioned areas. It also aims to clarify the paleogeography

Enhancement of the RhoA/Rho kinase pathway is associated with stress‐related erectile dysfunction in a restraint water immersion stress model

Physiological Reports, 2021
Stress is a risk factor for erectile dysfunction (ED); however, the pathology of stress‐induced ED remains unclear. Accordingly, in this study, we investigated the mechanisms of stress‐induced ED using a rat model.

Muscle Twitch Kinetics Are Dependent on Muscle Group, Disease State, and Age in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Mouse Models

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked disorder caused by the lack of functional dystrophin protein. In muscular dystrophy preclinical research, it is pertinent to analyze the force of the muscles affected by the disease to assess pathology and

Cardiac tissue engineering [PDF]

Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2005
We hypothesized that clinically sized (1-5 mm thick),compact cardiac constructs containing physiologically high density of viable cells (≈108 cells/cm3) can be engineered in vitro by using biomimetic culture systems capable of providing oxygen transport ...

Stability in Nonlinear Neutral Caputo q-Fractional Difference Equations

Mathematics, 2022
In this article, we consider a nonlinear neutral q-fractional difference equation. So, we apply the fixed point theorem of Krasnoselskii to obtain the existence of solutions under sufficient conditions.
