Thermal Breakage and Self-Healing of a Polymer Chain under Tensile Stress
, 2010 We consider the thermal breakage of a tethered polymer chain of discrete segments coupled by Morse potentials under constant tensile stress. The chain dynamics at the onset of fracture is studied analytically by Kramers-Langer multidimensional theory and

Dynamic rupture along bimaterial interfaces in 3D
Geophysical Research Letters, 2007 We perform numerical simulations of dynamic rupture propagation on a plane in a model consisting of two different elastic half spaces connected via a planar frictional interface governed by regularized Coulomb friction. Therefore, ruptures in this study are purely driven by the presence of a material contrast.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Focal adhesions as mechanosensors: the two-spring model [PDF]
, 2004 Adhesion-dependent cells actively sense the mechanical properties of their environment through mechanotransductory processes at focal adhesions, which are integrin-based contacts connecting the extracellular matrix to the cytoskeleton.

Plecstatin inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma tumorigenesis and invasion through cytolinker plectin
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The ruthenium‐based metallodrug plecstatin exerts its anticancer effect in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) primarily through selective targeting of plectin. By disrupting plectin‐mediated cytoskeletal organization, plecstatin inhibits anchorage‐dependent growth, cell polarization, and tumor cell dissemination.

Rupture-dependent breakdown energy in fault models with thermo-hydro-mechanical processes [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2020 Substantial insight into earthquake source processes has resulted from considering frictional ruptures analogous to cohesive-zone shear cracks from fracture mechanics.

The dependence of the dry friction threshold on rupture dynamics
, 2011 The static friction coefficient between two materials is considered to be a material constant. We present experiments demonstrating that the ratio of shear to normal force needed to move contacting blocks can, instead, vary systematically with ...

Intraoperative rupture cerebral aneurysm and computational flow dynamics
Asian Journal of Neurosurgery, 2018 Intraoperative aneurysmal rupture (IAR) is the most fearsome complication of aneurysm surgery. IAR associates with high morbidity and mortality. In recent years, we have many studies regarding using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in aneurysm surgery.
