Possible Production of Solar Spicules by Microfilament Eruptions [PDF]
, 2020 We examine Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO) Goode Solar Telescope (GST) high-spatial resolution (0''.06), high-cadence (3.45 s), H-alpha-0.8 Angstrom images of central-disk solar spicules, using data of Samanta et al. (2019). We compare with coronal-jet chromospheric-component observations of Sterling et al. (2010a).

Specialized Roles for Actin in Osteoclasts: Unanswered Questions and Therapeutic Opportunities
Biomolecules, 2019 Osteoclasts are cells of the hematopoietic lineage that are specialized to resorb bone. In osteoclasts, the actin cytoskeleton engages in at least two unusual activities that are required for resorption.

Perturbing Microtubule Integrity Blocks AMP-Activated Protein Kinase-Induced Meiotic Resumption in Cultured Mouse Oocytes [PDF]
, 2012 The oocyte meiotic spindle is comprised of microtubules (MT) that bind chromatin and regulate both metaphase plate formation and karyokinesis during meiotic maturation; however, little information is known about their role in meiosis reinitiation.

M2 Macrophage-Derived Extracellular Vehicles-Loaded Hyaluronic Acid-Alginate Hydrogel for Treatment of Osteoarthritis. [PDF]
Orthop SurgABSTRACT Objective Osteoarthritis (OA), a high‐prevalence degenerative cartilage disease, urgently requires novel therapeutic strategies. M2 macrophage‐derived exosomes (M2‐Exo) demonstrate therapeutic potential for OA, though their regulatory mechanisms in chondrocyte‐macrophage (Mφ) interactions remain to be elucidated.

Effect of Filament Fineness on Composite Yarn Residual Torque
AUTEX Research Journal, 2018 Yarn residual torque or twist liveliness occurs when the twist is imparted to spin the fibers during yarn formation. It causes yarn snarling, which is an undesirable property and can lead the problems for further processes such as weaving and knitting ...
