Mechanical mechanisms for thrombosis in microvessels

2007 IEEE 33rd Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference, 2006
The hypothesis that thrombus can be induced in curved vessels due to mechanical stimuli was tested both experimentally and computationally. Our in vivo experiments on the mesentery of Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g) showed that thrombi were formed in non-injured curved microvessels (post-capillary venules, 20-50 micrometer in diameter), and they were ...

Models and Mechanisms of Stomatal Mechanics

Trends in Plant Science, 2018
The mechanism of stomatal function (control of gas flux through the plant surface via regulation of pore size) is fundamentally mechanical. The material properties of the pore-forming guard cells must play a key role in setting the dynamics and degree of stomatal opening/closure, but our understanding of the molecular players involved and resultant ...

Mechanical Mechanisms of Chemical Mechanical Polishing

Advanced Materials Research, 2008
This paper describes a mechanical mechanism of chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) and the model is applied to the polishing of silicon substrates by polyurethane pads and slurries containing fumed silica as is typically done in the manufacture of integrated circuits.

MECHANIZED MECHANISMS

INCOSE International Symposium, 1993
AbstractEvery progressive corporation has a set of process mechanisms in place for accomplishing its business ends. In the engineering industry most elements of these process mechanisms remain manually intensive. However, just as mechanization transformed manufacturing, so too will mechanization of manually intensive tasks advance the state of ...

Molecular mechanisms of cellular mechanics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2006
Mechanical forces play an essential role in cellular processes as input, output, and signals. Various protein complexes in the cell are designed to handle, transform and use such forces. For instance, proteins of muscle and the extracellular matrix can withstand considerable stretching forces, hearing-related and mechanosensory proteins can transform ...

Peripheral Mechanisms of Mechanical Itch

Journal of Investigative Dermatology
Mechanical itch, which is defined as an itch sensation caused by innocuous mechanical force, may warn of the potential risk in the skin. The increased mechanosensitivity in sensory neurons may cause scratch-induced itch and promote the transition from acute itch to chronic itch.

Mechanisms of teratogenesis*

Development, 1976
ABSTRACTIn view of the great number of teratogenic factors known and the vast array of congenital defects, disorders and syndromes, it would probably be a waste of time to search for unifying mechanisms and principles in abnormal development. Instead, therefore, I shall describe a selection of teratogens and their consequences, and try to arrange them ...
