Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 The rhythmic electrical activity of the heart’s natural pacemaker, the sinoatrial node (SAN), determines cardiac beating rate (BR). SAN electrical activity is tightly controlled by multiple factors, including tissue stretch, which may contribute to ...

Cyclic stretch increases splicing noise rate in cultured human fibroblasts
BMC Research Notes, 2011 Background Mechanical forces are known to alter the expression of genes, but it has so far not been reported whether they may influence the fidelity of nucleus-based processes.

Stream self-purification efficiency / Reguliuoto upelio savaiminio apsivalymo efektyvumo vertinimas
Mokslas: Lietuvos Ateitis, 2015 The article identifies factors that have influence on the processes of river self-purification from biogenic substances when the stretches of the river are regulated and unregulated.

Physical Biology of Axonal Damage
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 Excessive physical impacts to the head have direct implications on the structural integrity at the axonal level. Increasing evidence suggests that tau, an intrinsically disordered protein that stabilizes axonal microtubules, plays a critical role in the ...

Ranolazine-Mediated Attenuation of Mechanoelectric Feedback in Atrial Myocyte Monolayers
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 BackgroundMechanical stretch increases Na+ inflow into myocytes, related to mechanisms including stretch-activated channels or Na+/H+ exchanger activation, involving Ca2+ increase that leads to changes in electrophysiological properties favoring ...

A dynamic stochastic model of frequency-dependent stress fiber alignment induced by cyclic stretch. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND: Actin stress fibers (SFs) are mechanosensitive structural elements that respond to forces to affect cell morphology, migration, signal transduction and cell function.

Azelnidipine inhibits cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cell death induced by cyclic mechanical stretch. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Acute aortic dissection is the most common life-threatening vascular disease, with sudden onset of severe pain and a high fatality rate. Clarifying the detailed mechanism for aortic dissection is of great significance for establishing effective ...

Tensile Properties of Rubber Compounds at High Rates of Stretch
Rubber Chemistry and Technology, 1939 Abstract Stress-strain relationships and the work of extension for four rubber compounds were studied for a rate of stretching of the order of 1,000 per cent per second. This rate is sufficiently great so that the test may be considered to approach adiabatic conditions. A comparison of these data with similar data for a rate of stretching which

Frontiers in Physiology, 2011 The pacemaker and pattern generator that underlies the cyclical generation of spontaneous colonic migrating motor complexes (CMMCs) has recently been identified to lie within the myenteric plexus and/or muscularis externa.
