NOTCH activity differentially affects alternative cell fate acquisition and maintenance [PDF]
The pituitary is an essential endocrine gland regulating multiple processes. Regeneration of endocrine cells is of therapeutic interest and recent studies are promising, but mechanisms of endocrine cell fate acquisition need to be better characterised ...

Control of Neural Daughter Cell Proliferation by Multi-level Notch/Su(H)/E(spl)-HLH Signaling. [PDF]
The Notch pathway controls proliferation during development and in adulthood, and is frequently affected in many disorders. However, the genetic sensitivity and multi-layered transcriptional properties of the Notch pathway has made its molecular decoding

Notch sensitivity of mammalian mineralized tissues in impact [PDF]
The toughness of bone is an important feature in preventing it from fracturing. We consider the notch sensitivity in impact, and the associations between brittleness, notch sensitivity and post-yield energy absorption of mammalian mineralized tissues. Specimens of bone-like tissues covering a wide range of mineralization were broken, either notched or ...

Cis-activation in the Notch signaling pathway [PDF]
The Notch signaling pathway consists of transmembrane ligands and receptors that can interact both within the same cell (cis) and across cell boundaries (trans). Previous work has shown that cis-interactions act to inhibit productive signaling.

Computational Screening of Tip and Stalk Cell Behavior Proposes a Role for Apelin Signaling in Sprout Progression [PDF]
Angiogenesis involves the formation of new blood vessels by sprouting or splitting of existing blood vessels. During sprouting, a highly motile type of endothelial cell, called the tip cell, migrates from the blood vessels followed by stalk cells, an ...

Apnea detection from photoplethysmography signal using dicrotic notch
Photoplethysmography signal (PPG) provides information about the cardiovascular, respiratory, or nervous system activity. Recent studies proposed methods of apnea identification from PPG using amplitude or baseline modulation, or area under the curve. We

Fatigue notch sensitivity of steel blunt‐notched specimens
ABSTRACTThe notch sensitivity of three steels with similar plain fatigue limits was analysed and modelled. The analysis was made by using a model previously derived which estimated the fatigue limit of blunt notched components by means of the parameter ktd defined as the stress concentration introduced by the notch at a distance d from the notch root ...

Mechanical Properties and Notch Sensitivities of the Hydrogenated X70 Pipeline Steel Welded Joints [PDF]
In order to explore the effects of pipeline inner-wall surface defects on reliability of the hydrogen enriched compressed natural gas(HCNG) pipeline steel welded joints in long-term service, the notches in the base metal, weld seam and heat affected zone
