Shear-thinning and shear-thickening emulsions in shear flows [PDF]
We study the rheology of a two-fluid emulsion in semiconcentrated conditions; the solute is Newtonian while the solvent is an inelastic power-law fluid. The problem at hand is tackled by means of direct numerical simulations using the volume of fluid method.

Neonatal intubating stylets (figure 1) are frequently used to assist intubation of preterm infants. Complications have been reported before.1 We report an episode in which the plastic sheath of …

INFLUENCE OF SHEAR RATE ON THE SOIL'S SHEAR STRENGTH
One of the most important mechanical properties is shear strength. It is conditioned by the value of the maximum shear stress that the soil can withstand before failure. Exceeding the shear strength causes one particle to slide next to another, causing the failure of soil.

Shear-banding and microstructure of colloids in shear flow [PDF]
We shall discuss the following phenomena found in various colloidal systems in shear flow. We recently observed shear-banding in suspensions of fd-virus in a cylindrical shear cell. Small angle light scattering experiments revealed that the shear-banding transition is preceded by a relatively fast process (minutes) of nematic-to-paranematic phase ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

COMP–PMEPA1 axis promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in breast cancer cells
This study reveals that cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast cancer. We identify PMEPA1 (protein TMEPAI) as a novel COMP‐binding partner that mediates EMT via binding to the TSP domains of COMP, establishing the COMP–PMEPA1 axis as a key EMT driver in breast cancer.

Vascular adaptation model from force balance: Physarum polycephalum as a case study
Understanding vascular adaptation, namely what drives veins to shrink or grow, is key for the self-organization of flow networks and their optimization.

Loss of proton‐sensing TDAG8 increases tumor progression in mouse models of colon cancer
Loss of the pH‐sensing receptor TDAG8 accelerates colorectal cancer progression in mice. Animals lacking TDAG8 expression had increased tumor growth, DNA damage, and recruitment of tumor‐associated immune cells, including macrophages, neutrophils, and monocytes.

Single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assays for high‐throughput DNA–protein interaction studies
We describe an optimised single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assay that visualises DNA–protein interactions in real time. Linear DNA fragments are tethered to a surface and stretched by buffer flow for fluorescence imaging. Using λ and φX174 DNA, this protocol enhances reproducibility and accessibility, providing a versatile approach for studying diverse ...
