Micromechanics of creep fracture: simulation of intergranular crack growth [PDF]
A computational model is presented to analyze intergranular creep crack growth in a polycrystalline aggregate in a discrete manner and based directly on the underlying physical micromechanisms.

Modeling of creep-fatigue interaction effects on crack growth at elevated temperatures
The well-known load frequency effect on creep-fatigue crack growth is explained by the interactions between fatigue and creep loading and is quantified using the concept of plasticity-induced crack closure.

Fatigue of materials, like alloys, is basically fatigue-crack growth in small cracks nucleating and growing from micro-structural features, such as inclusions and voids, or at micro-machining marks, and large cracks growing to failure.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Influence of woven ply degradation on fatigue crack growth in thin notched composites under tensile loading [PDF]
This paper deals with the fatigue of the through the-thickness crack propagation in thin notched composite laminates made of two glass woven plies. It highlights the different crack growths between warp and weft directions of the woven ply.

Fatigue crack growth of cast austenitic stainless steels
The influences of stress ratio, single overload and high-low loading sequence on the fatigue crack growth of Z3CN20-09M cast austenitic stainless steels were studied with compact tension specimens. When the stress intensity factor range is identical, the

Weld defects such as porosity, inclusion, burn-through, and lack of penetration are difficult to detect and control effectively in an orthotropic steel deck (OSD), which will be a fatigue crack initiation site and lead to several fatigue cracking.

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

The process of internalization of the Shiga toxin A subunit via formation of a complex with the Shiga toxin B subunit, which specifically binds to the Gb3 receptor. The peptide is designed to act as a carrier of drugs into cancer cells. Here, we explored the potential of peptides derived from the catalytic A subunit of Shiga toxin (STxA) to be drug ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.
