Episodic Tremor and Slip Explained by Fluid‐Enhanced Microfracturing and Sealing
Geophysical Research Letters, 2018 Episodic tremor and slow‐slip events at the deep extension of plate boundary faults illuminate seismic to aseismic processes around the brittle‐ductile transition.

Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2022 Strain localization is one of the key phenomena which has been extensively studied in geomaterials and for other kinds of materials including metals and polymers. This well-known phenomenon appears when structure/material is closed to failure.

Strain Localisation and Fracture of Nuclear Reactor Core Materials
Journal of Nuclear Engineering, 2023 The production of prismatic dislocation loops in nuclear reactor core materials results in hardening because the loops impede dislocation motion. Yielding often occurs by a localised clearing of the loops through interactions with gliding dislocations ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Emergence of Shear Bands in Confined Granular Systems: Singularity of the q-Statistics
Entropy, 2018 The statistics of grain displacements probability distribution function (pdf) during the shear of a granular medium displays an unusual dependence with the shear increment upscaling as recently evinced (see “experimental validation of a ...

A Comparison of Plasticity Regularization Approaches for Geodynamic Modeling
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 The emergence, geometry and activation of faults are intrinsically linked to frictional rheology. The latter is thus a central element in geodynamic simulations which aim at modeling the generation and evolution of fault zones and plate boundaries ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Response of single polymers to localized step strains [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2009 In this paper, the response of single three-dimensional phantom and self-avoiding polymers to localized step strains are studied for two cases in the absence of hydrodynamic interactions: (i) polymers tethered at one end with the strain created at the point of tether, and (ii) free polymers with the strain created in the middle of the polymer.
