Effects of periodic mechanical stress on cytoskeleton dependent lipid raft-induced integrin ɑ1 activation in rat nucleus pulposus cells. [PDF]
AbstractExtracellular matrix (ECM) production and nucleus pulposus (NP) cell migration increase under periodic mechanical stress (PMS), but the underpinning regulatory mechanism remains unclear. This work aimed to examine the regulatory effects of cytoskeleton-lipid raft-integrin α1 signaling in NP cells exposed to PMS.

AbstractCorticotrophs are intermediaries in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, which plays a crucial role in stress response in vertebrates. The HPA axis displays an intricate mode of negative feedback regulation, whereby the peripheral effector, cortisol inhibits the secretion of its upstream regulator, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH ...

Influence of Uniaxial Tensile Stress on the Mechanical and Piezoelectric Properties of Short-period Ferroelectric Superlattice [PDF]
Tetragonal ferroelectric/ferroelectric BaTiO3/PbTiO3 superlattice under uniaxial tensile stress along the c axis is investigated from first principles. We show that the calculated ideal tensile strength is 6.85 GPa and that the superlattice under the loading of uniaxial tensile stress becomes soft along the nonpolar axes.

Theoretical model of homogenized piezoelectric materials with small non-collinear periodic cracks [PDF]
An analytical model for the homogenization of a piezoelectric material with small periodic fissures is proposed on the basis of the method of asymptotic expansions for the elastic displacement, the electric scalar potential and the test functions ...
