International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT An experimental campaign was undertaken to demonstrate the applicability of the Bouc–Wen hysteretic model to describe the hysteretic system of the recent Framatome dimple‐less spacer grid design for Pressurized Water Reactors. The experimental setup subjected a reduced‐length fuel rod, supported at both ends by dimple‐less grids, to forced ...

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background In individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF), lean mass and muscle strength are important predictors of clinical outcomes. This study evaluated associations among body composition, handgrip strength, muscle quality, physical activity, and health‐related quality of life in CF. Methods This observational, cross‐sectional study included 27

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.Doxorubicin induces cardiac and skeletal muscle atrophy by upregulating E3 ubiquitin ligases, inhibiting myogenic regulatory factors, and activating necroptosis. Cardiac atrophy can further exacerbate cardiotoxicity. 6‐Shogaol negatively regulates these processes and attenuates doxorubicin‐induced cardiac and skeletal muscle atrophy.

Photodegradable Hydrogels for On‐Demand Modeling of Age‐Related Spatiotemporal ECM Deformation
Small, EarlyView.A light‐tunable PEG hydrogel enables on‐demand, spatiotemporal modeling of drusen‐like ECM bulges in the aging outer retina. By precisely controlling bulge size, the platform reveals how retinal pigment epithelium morphology adapts to topographical changes without disrupting actin cytoskeleton or polarity, effectively mimicking early ageing before ...

Acid Resistant and Highly Silver Selective Membranes Based on Charged Nanoporous 2D‐Materials
Small, EarlyView.In this work, new membranes based on charged & nanoporous nanosheets with unprecedented selectivity to silver versus a wide range of other metallic ions are reported. Furthermore, a demonstrated and lead specific intralamellar lead pathway is demonstrated. A potential applicability for ubiquitous silver in WEEE is validated.
