A 3D lattice Boltzmann – phase-field model of three-phase contact line dynamics on curved boundaries
Applied and Computational MechanicsIn this paper, we present a three-dimensional multiphase fluid lattice Boltzmann model based on the phase-field theory. The conservative Allen-Cahn equation was used to describe the interface dynamics between two different fluids.

Avoiding Starvation in Tribocontact Through Active Lubricant Transport in Laser Textured Surfaces
Lubricants, 2019 Laser texturing is a viable tool to enhance the tribological performance of surfaces. Especially textures created with Direct Laser Interference Patterning (DLIP) show outstanding improvement in terms of reduction of coefficient of friction (COF) as well

Neutralization of the PTX3/CD44 axis suppresses TGF‐β1 signaling in kidney fibrosis
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study investigates how the PTX3/CD44 axis promotes kidney fibrosis by activating TGF‐β1 signaling. We demonstrate that the neutralizing antibody WHC‐001 effectively inhibits this pathway, suppressing myofibroblast activation and partial epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT).

Going viral − Virus‐targeting nanobodies for research, diagnostics and therapy
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The increasing prevalence of viral diseases represents a major threat for global human health. Nanobodies, small binding fragments derived from camelid heavy‐chain antibodies, offer versatile tools for viral research, diagnostics, and antiviral therapy.

Comparing the paths of Hedgehog release in artificial and natural settings
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Hh morphogens require solubilization factors to overcome their tight association with the plasma membrane and signal to distant cells, but the precise functions of these factors are controversial. Here, we use published in vivo observations as the most relevant evidence to test their suggested functions and discuss contradictions and gaps between in ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Which brain hemisphere controls writing? This review synthesizes all five functional transcranial Doppler studies of writing (handwriting and typing) published to date in adults and children. Right‐handers show left‐hemispheric dominance for the linguistic component of writing (written word generation), whereas findings for left‐handers remain ...

An adaptive phase-field method for structural topology optimization
Journal of Computational PhysicsIn this work, we develop an adaptive algorithm for the efficient numerical solution of the minimum compliance problem in topology optimization. The algorithm employs the phase field approximation and continuous density field. The adaptive procedure is driven by two residual type a posteriori error estimators, one for the state variable and the other ...
