Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...

Effect of gradient of stress intensity factor at a crack tip on fatigue crack growth and correction method for the effect

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2014
The stress intensity factor can be applied as an evaluation parameter of crack growth under small-scale yielding conditions. Moreover, the stress intensity factor corrected by the plastic zone correction can potentially be used as an evaluation parameter

Measuring Nanoscale Stress Intensity Factors with an Atomic Force Microscope [PDF]

, 2010
Atomic Force Microscope images of a crack intersecting the free surface of a glass specimen are taken at different stages of subcritical propagation. From the analysis of image pairs, it is shown that a novel Integrated Digital Image Correlation technique allows to measure stress intensity factors in a quantitative fashion.

Mode I and Mode II stress intensity factors and dislocation density behaviour in strain gradient plasticity [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
In this study, we use the mechanism-based strain gradient plasticity theory to evaluate both crack tip dislocation density behaviour and the coupled effect of the material plastic properties and the intrinsic material length on non-linear amplitude factors.

Stress Intensity Factors for a Fisheye in a Shaft.

TRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Series A, 1991
The fatigue limit of high-strength steel is influenced by inclusions and defects. Once a crack emanates from an inclusion or a defect, a fisheye (an embedded elliptical crack) is often formed. The stress intensity factor for a fisheye is important to evaluate the fatigue limit.

miRNA‐29 regulates epidermal and mesenchymal functions in skin repair

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
miRNA‐29 inhibits cell‐to‐cell and cell‐to‐matrix adhesion by silencing mRNA targets. Adhesion is controlled by complex interactions between many types of molecules coded by mRNAs. This is crucial for keeping together the layers of the skin and for regenerating the skin after wounding.

The Griffith Crack and the Interaction between Screw Dislocation and Semi-Infinite Crack in Cubic Quasicrystal Piezoelectric Materials

Crystals, 2022
The Griffith crack problem and the interaction between screw dislocation and semi-infinite crack in cubic quasicrystal piezoelectric materials are studied by using the complex variable function method.

Interaction vesicles as emerging mediators of host‐pathogen molecular crosstalk and their implications for infection dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interaction extracellular vesicles (iEVs) are hybrid vesicles formed through host‐pathogen communication. They facilitate immune evasion, transfer pathogens' molecules, increase host cell uptake, and enhance virulence. This Perspective article illustrates the multifunctional roles of iEVs and highlights their emerging relevance in infection dynamics ...

STAT3 expression is reduced in cardiac pericytes in HFpEF and its loss reduces cellular adhesion and induces pericyte senescence

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for half of the heart failure cases. It is characterised by microvascular dysfunction, associated with reduced pericyte coverage and diminished STAT3 expression in pericytes. Loss of STAT3 impairs pericyte adhesion, promotes senescence, and activates a pro‐fibrotic gene program.
