Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

A multiplexed CW Brillouin system for precise interrogation of a sensor array made from short discrete sections of optical fibre [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A novel configuration for precise temperature sensing in an array of optical fibre sections is reported. The sections are chosen to have different Brillouin shifts, to enable separation of scattered light signals in the frequency domain, rather than the ...

Pre-stressed advanced fibre reinforced composites fabrication and mechanical performance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Advanced composite materials have high strength-to-weight ratios, corrosion resistance and durability and are extensively used in aerospace, energy and defence industries. This research concentrates on minimising the process-induced residual stresses,

Effect of water absorption on the mechanical properties of cotton fabric-reinforced geopolymer composites

open access: yesJournal of Asian Ceramic Societies, 2014
Cotton fabric (CF) reinforced geopolymer composites are fabricated with fibre loadings of 4.5, 6.2 and 8.3 wt%. Results show that flexural strength, flexural modulus, impact strength, hardness and fracture toughness are increased as the fibre content ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Influence of loading rate, alkali fibre treatment and crystallinity on fracture toughness of random short hemp fibre reinforced polylactide bio-composites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Plane-strain fracture toughness (KIc) of random short hemp fibre reinforced polylactide (PLA) bio-composites was investigated along with the effect of loading rate, fibre treatment and PLA crystallinity.

Regeneration of thermally recycled glass fibre for cost-effective composite recycling : Performance of composites based on PP and Recovered glass fibre [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Due to economic and technical reasons, no recycling process for glass fibre composites has been commercialized on a large scale. Thermal recycling processes are promising in terms of potential for commercialization but the reinforcement potential of ...

Understanding the multi-scan strategies in L-PBFed CF/PEEK composites: micro–macro tests and multi-scale modelling

open access: yesVirtual and Physical Prototyping
This study investigates the role of multi-scan strategies in expanding the processing window of laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) for high-fibre-content carbon fibre reinforced polyetheretherketone (CF/PEEK) composites. Combining X-ray computed tomography (
