Porcine bladder acellular matrix (ACM): protein expression, mechanical properties

Biomedical Materials, 2008
Experimentally, porcine bladder acellular matrix (ACM) that mimics extracellular matrix has excellent potential as a bladder substitute. Herein we investigated the spatial localization and expression of different key cellular and extracellular proteins in the ACM; furthermore, we evaluated the inherent mechanical properties of the resultant ACM prior ...

Nano-mechanical properties of living cells expressing constitutively active RhoA effectors

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2010
Filamentous actin and myosin-II are major determinants of cell mechanics and are tightly regulated by a small guanosine triphosphatase, RhoA, and its downstream effectors. We examined the effects of constitutively active mutants of RhoA effectors, which have not been reported before, on cortical stiffness of living cells by using scanning probe ...

Snail1-Expressing Fibroblasts in the Tumor Microenvironment Display Mechanical Properties That Support Metastasis

Cancer Research, 2015
Abstract Crosstalk between tumor and stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment alter its properties in ways that facilitate the invasive behavior of tumor cells. Here, we demonstrate that cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) increase the stiffness of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and promote anisotropic fiber orientation, two ...

Express control of aluminum alloys mechanical properties by instrumented indentation

Industrial laboratory. Diagnostics of materials
A technique for determining the mechanical properties of aluminum alloys by instrumented indentation with a ball indenter was developed. The technique is based on the correlation between the maximum equal strain during specimen tension and the indentation strain hardening parameter in the plastic region.

Expression of the Trp2 Allele of COL9A2 Is Associated With Alterations in the Mechanical Properties of Human Intervertebral Discs

Spine, 2007
Biomechanical study into the association between genetic polymorphism in COL9A2 and mechanical properties of human nucleus pulposus.To examine whether there is an association between genetic polymorphism in a structural gene, and alterations in the mechanical properties of the intervertebral discs that may predispose to disc degeneration.Genetic ...

Application of Fractal Formalism for Express Analysis of Mechanical Properties of Parts

Bulletin of Kharkov National Automobile and Highway University
Problem The choice of processing methods plays a decisive role in the formation of the set of properties of the original part, especially the methods of surface processing. Problem. Detonation coatings, as a type of gas-thermal coatings, due to the highest characteristics, are increasingly used in various industries. Due to the highest characteristics (
