Rockburst Identification Method Based on Energy Storage Limit of Surrounding Rock

Energies, 2020
Rockbursts are one of the prominent problems faced by deep underground engineering. Not only do they affect the construction progress, but they also threaten the safety of construction personnel and equipment, and may even induce earthquakes.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Evaluation of detailed transverse crack propagation toward thickness direction for CF/PEEK quasi-isotropic laminates under fatigue loading

Mechanical Engineering Journal, 2020
Carbon fiber (CF) reinforced polyether ether ketone (PEEK) laminates are applied to the members of transportation structures exposed to severe conditions, because carbon fibers and PEEK have excellent heat-resistant and chemical stability.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Releasing chemical energy in spatially programmed ferroelectrics

Nature Communications, 2022
Chemical energy ferroelectrics show limited control of the energy release rate. Here, the authors design spatially programmed energetic ferroelectrics with controlled energy release rates from machine learning-directed additive manufacturing and ice ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Crack Growth and Energy Release Rate for an Angled Crack under Mixed Mode Loading

Applied Sciences, 2020
The evaluation of energy release rate with angle is still a challenging task in metal crack propagation analysis, especially for the mixed Mode I-II-III loading situation. In this paper, the energy release rate associated with stress intensity factors at

Numerical study of critical straight, frown, and chevron incisions in small incision cataract surgery

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Introduction: When an intraocular lens (IOL) injector is inserted through a pre-cut corneal incision (e.g., an empirical size of 2.2 mm) during small incision cataract surgery, uncontrollable tearing to the corneal tissue may occur, which is highly ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
