Mechanical stiffness orchestrates distinct regulation of MRTFs and YAP/TAZ transcriptional cofactors in hepatocytes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
MRTFs and YAP/TAZ proteins, or mechanosensitive transcriptional cofactors (MRTcoF), regulate common genes associated with cellular contractility and immune cell infiltration. Their differential regulation in response to stiffness is linked to changes in hepatocyte's aspect ratio. MRTFB does not undergo nuclear translocation under these conditions. This

Influence of Airborne‐Particle Abrasion and Thermal Cycling on Enamel Bond Strength and Roughness of Lithium Disilicate Treated With a Self‐Etching Ceramic Primer

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This in vitro study investigated the effect of a self‐etching ceramic primer (Monobond Etch & Prime [MEP]), with or without aluminum oxide airborne‐particle abrasion, on the surface roughness, and microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of lithium disilicate bonded to enamel, compared with the conventional hydrofluoric acid plus silane (HF

The Spot‐Dam Technique: A Protocol for Adhesive Cementation of BOPT Crowns

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The Biologically Oriented Preparation Technique (BOPT) uses vertical tooth preparation without a defined finish line, guided by provisional restorations to shape the gingival emergence profile. Subgingival crown margins inherent to BOPT increase the risk of residual cement and soft‐tissue trauma during adhesive cementation.

Effectiveness of self‐etching ceramic primer on the bond strength of dental glass ceramics: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of in vitro studies on feldspathic and leucite‐reinforced ceramics

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This systematic review and meta‐analysis evaluated the bond strength effectiveness of a self‐etching ceramic primer, specifically Monobond Etch & Prime (MEP), compared to hydrofluoric acid with silane (HF+S) in feldspathic and leucite‐reinforced dental glass‐ceramics (DGCs). Materials and Methods This study followed PRISMA‐p guidelines

Hydraulic fast‐setting calcium silicate cement for crown cementation

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study evaluated film thickness, diametral tensile strength (DTS), and crown retentive strength of hydraulic fast‐set calcium silicate cement (fast‐set CSC) compared to conventional luting cements. Materials and Methods Fast‐set CSC was compared to zinc phosphate cement and glass ionomer cement.

micromechanical approach for the micropolar modeling of heterogeneous periodic media

Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2014
Computational homogenization is adopted to assess the homogenized two-dimensional response of periodic composite materials where the typical microstructural dimension is not negligible with respect to the structural sizes. A micropolar homogenization is,

A constitutive modelling framework for applications to in vivo longitudinal data: Evaluation in a 60‐day head‐down bed rest study on arterial function

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We proposed a computational constitutive modelling framework that leverages longitudinal acquisitions of haemodynamic waveforms at multiple arterial locations to achieve a biomechanical characterisation of their (micro)structural remodelling processes.

On Micromechanical Modeling of Deformation of Compact Rock in Compression

Engineering Transactions, 1993
The paper proposes a simple two-dimensional damage model for low-porosity rocks loaded in compression. The sliding crack mechanism is selected as an underlying micromechanism of the inelastic deformation at the macroscale.

Modeling of the Visco‐Plastic Compaction Behavior of Crushed Salt Based on Micromechanical Deformation Mechanisms

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Using crushed salt as a backfilling material for sealing radioactive waste repositories within rock salt formations has many advantages, particularly its compositional similarity to the host rock and the fact that it is derived from the mining process.
