Periodic mechanical stress activates MEK1/2-ERK1/2 mitogenic signals in rat chondrocytes through Src and PLCγ1 [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2011 The mitogenic effects of periodic mechanical stress on chondrocytes have been studied extensively but the mechanisms whereby chondrocytes sense and respond to periodic mechanical stress remain a matter of debate.

European Journal of Cell Biology, 2010 The signal transduction pathways of chondrocyte area expansion and migration under periodic mechanical stress remain a matter of debate. We explore this question by performing cell culture experiments in our self-developed periodic stress field and perfusion culture system.

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 2023 Abstract Corticotrophs 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 ...

Theoretical model of homogenized piezoelectric materials with small non-collinear periodic cracks [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2017 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 ...

A modified Oster-Murray-Harris mechanical model of morphogenesis [PDF]
, 2013 There are two main modeling paradigms for biological pattern formation in developmental biology: chemical prepattern models and cell aggregation models. This paper focuses on an example of a cell aggregation model, the mechanical model developed by Oster,

Influence of Uniaxial Tensile Stress on the Mechanical and Piezoelectric Properties of Short-period Ferroelectric Superlattice [PDF]
Nanoscale Research Letters, 2009 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.

Faults Self-Organized by Repeated Earthquakes in a Quasi-Static Antiplane Crack Model [PDF]
, 1995 We study a 2D quasi-static discrete {\it crack} anti-plane model of a tectonic plate with long range elastic forces and quenched disorder. The plate is driven at its border and the load is transfered to all elements through elastic forces. This model can
