Dynamic properties of stainless steel under direct tension loading using a simple gas gun
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2018 The combined experimental and theoretical approach was applied to the study of high-speed deformation and fracture of the 1810 stainless steel. The material tests were performed using a split Hopkinson pressure bar to determine dynamic stress-strain ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.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.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Directional Destress with Tension Blasting in Coal Mines
Procedia Engineering, 2017 Abstract In China, engineering geological disasters are frequently encountered in the underground mining sites where room and pillar method is used. This paper presents a novel method for developing the gateway tunnel without any excavation using directional tension blasting (DTB) in the mine panels. The mining-induced stress transfer will be blocked

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

STRENGTH SHRINKAGE AND CREEP OF CONCRETE IN TENSION AND COMPRESSION
Civil Engineering Dimension, 2006 Strength, shrinkage and creep of concrete in tension and compression have been determined and the relationship between those properties was studied. Direct tensile tests were applied to measure those properties in tension.

Physical Review X, 2018 Capillary condensation is the first-order vapor-to-liquid phase transition taking place in confined geometries. Such heterogeneous nucleation has been well described by thermodynamic laws such as the Kelvin equation, but the equation’s applicability at ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Linking molecular tension and cellular tractions: a multiscale approach to focal adhesion mechanics
Communications BiologyFocal adhesions (FAs) are mechanosensitive structures that mediate force transmission between cells and the extracellular matrix. While Traction Force Microscopy (TFM) quantifies cellular tractions exerted on deformable substrates, Förster Resonance ...
