Linear Viscoelastic Behavior of n‐Alkane Diluted Polyethylene Melts: Sorption, Desorption, and Oscillatory Rheometry

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This study systematically maps polyolefin dilution dynamics using a homologous series of n‐alkanes. Integrating gravimetric sorption, subsequent controlled desorption, and oscillatory rheometry establishes a precise framework to analyze reduction in viscosity at least for polymer diluent mixtures with polymer concentration > 35% and diluent ...

CD14 Plays a Critical Role in Pain and Inflammation Across Multiple Models of Post‐traumatic Osteoarthritis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective We employed global genetic deletion of CD14 and intra‐articular CD14 blockade across multiple murine osteoarthritis (OA) models that vary in severity of pathology and rate of progression to test the hypothesis that CD14 inhibition attenuates synovial inflammation and associated pain during disease progression.

Nonlinear characterization of magnetorheological elastomer-based smart device for structural seismic mitigation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Smart and Nano Materials, 2021
Magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) has been demonstrated to be effective in structural vibration control because of controllable stiffness and damping properties with the effect of external magnetic fields.

Tissue Damage in Rheumatoid Arthritis Is Genetically Linked to Low Peptidylglycine Alpha‐Amidating Monooxygenase Activity in Synovial Fibroblasts

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Both susceptibility to, and severity of, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with the rs26232 C allele. Our primary aim was to identify the biologic mechanism underlying this association. Methods Expression of surrounding genes was compared among rs26232 genotypes.

O Esporte na Política Externa do Governo Lula

open access: yesMeridiano 47, 2017
O artigo trata da “diplomacia da bola” como ferramenta da política externa do Presidente Lula, tema marginal da inserção internacional de muitos países, mas que ganhou importância pelo fato de que o Brasil sediará os dois maiores megaeventos esportivos ...

Parameter optimization of anisotropic polarization in magnetorheological elastomers for enhanced impact absorption capability using the Taguchi method

open access: yesJournal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials
Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are intelligent materials that exhibit changes in their properties when exposed to a magnetic field. By applying a magnetic field during the curing process, MRE can be made anisotropic.

Rheological and Resistance Properties of Magnetorheological Elastomer with Cobalt for Sensor Application

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Cobalt particles have been introduced as a filler due to the advantages of embedding their magnetic and electrical properties in magnetorheological elastomer (MRE). In the present research, the rheology and resistance of MRE are experimentally evaluated.

MRE in NAFLD: Promising but Further Validation is Required

open access: yesAnnals of Hepatology, 2017
MR elastography is a novel method for non-invasive fibrosis assessment, not yet sufficiently validated. In a recent study in 104 patients Park, Gastroenterology 2017; 152: 598-602), MRE was compared to transient elastography for the diagnosis of fibrosis is nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. The current viewpoint critically appraises this study.

Nerve Growth Factor is Sufficient to Cause Multiple Osteoarthritis‐Relevant Pathologic Features in Naïve Murine Knee Joints

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Nerve growth factor (NGF), a key mediator of pain, is increased in osteoarthritic (OA) joints. Antibodies against NGF show analgesic effects in painful knee OA, but clinical development was stopped because of side effects in the joints. Knowledge about the biologic effects of NGF on joint tissues is limited. Therefore, we explored the effects

Protein thermal stability in the undergraduate biochemistry laboratory: Exploring protein thermal stability with yeast alcohol dehydrogenase

open access: yesBiochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 209-217, March/April 2025.
Abstract We created a novel laboratory experience where undergraduate students explore the techniques used to study protein misfolding, unfolding, and aggregation. Despite the importance of protein misfolding and aggregation diseases, protein unfolding is not typically explored in undergraduate biochemistry laboratory classes.
