Durability of E-Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Subjected to Freeze-Thaw Cycle and Sustained Load

, 2010
Strengthening concrete structure with E-glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) is gaining more popularity, mainly due to their superior mechanical properties. However, there is insufficient information on environmental durability of glass fiber reinforced

Purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 for phase separation studies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe detailed protocols for the purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 (MpARF2). This protein is fused to an MBP solubility tag and an mNG fluorescent tag and is purified from Escherichia coli. The presented procedures make it possible to study MpARF2 assemblies, which could arise from phase separation ...

Evaluation of Freezing-Thawing Cycles for Foundation Soil Stabilization

Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, 2016
Freezing-thawing cycles in soils reduce considerably the foundation capacity of buildings and infrastructure. In recent years, development of nontraditional stabilizers has created hundreds of new products for soil stabilization. Fiber portions of biomass (such as lignin) can be considered as byproducts of the conversion process, and these byproducts ...

Protocol for quantifying miRNA trafficking across the endosomal membrane

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
An in vitro protocol measures miRNA uptake into endosomes isolated from mammalian cell extracts, which are free of subcellular contaminants. Performed at 37 °C in the presence of ATP, it ensures the import of single‐stranded miRNA into the endosomal lumen.

Changing of mechanical property and bearing capacity of strongly chlorine saline soil under freeze-thaw cycles

Scientific Reports
Freeze-thaw cycles and compactness are two critical factors that significantly affect the engineering properties and safety of building foundations, especially in seasonally frozen regions. This paper investigated the effects of freeze-thaw cycles on the

Disparity in soil erosion processes between freeze-thaw and unfrozen slopes under artificial rainfall conditions in high-altitude and dry valleys of the Southeast Tibet region

International Soil and Water Conservation Research
The arid valley region in southeastern Tibet exemplifies an ecologically vulnerable area in southwestern China, where soil erosion has intensified in recent years as a consequence of socio-economic growth and infrastructure construction. This study aimed

MARK4 enhances stress granule formation under oxidative stress and increases tau accumulation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
MARK4 (red dots) localizes to stress granules (orange dots) and promotes their formation under oxidative stress by modulating TIA1 (blue dots). MARK4 and TIA1 synergistically increase tau (purple) accumulation, and the reduction of the TIA1 ortholog suppresses neurodegeneration in a fly model.

Assessing Climate Change Effects on Freeze-Thaw Exposure of Concrete Structures

Nordic Concrete Research
This study presents a novel method to assess the freeze-thaw exposure of concrete structures. The new Relative Freeze-Thaw Exposure index (RFE) is based on regression model that considers location-related actual freeze-thaw damage observations, number of

Identification and characterization of a gene conferring stress resistance in Escherichia coli and cyanobacteria

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Functional screening identified PcSyn14890, a cyanobacteria‐specific protein that enhances growth and stress resistance in E. coli and Synechocystis PCC6803. Although we expected it to function as a molecular chaperone, it was unable to protect against thermal aggregation of GAPDH.

TRPML1 agonist ML‐SA5 attenuates pulmonary fibroblast activation by suppressing mTOR and restoring autophagic flux

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TGF‐β1 stimulation downregulates lysosomal channel TRPML1 in pulmonary fibroblasts. The TRPML1 agonist ML‐SA5 suppressed fibroblast‐to‐myofibroblast activation and collagen production. Mechanistically, ML‐SA5 inhibited mTOR phosphorylation, restored autophagic flux, and its effects were enhanced by rapamycin (mTOR inhibitor) and reversed by MHY1485 ...
