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 ...

Localization of the sensory neurons and mechanoreceptors required for stretch-evoked colonic migrating motor complexes in mouse colon

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.

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

Early Body Mass Index z‐Score Change and Resolution of Severe Malnutrition in Children With Sickle Cell Anemia in a Low‐Income Setting: A Prospective Single‐Arm Extension Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in low‐income settings are at risk of severe malnutrition, but optimal nutritional management has not been established. We evaluated an intensified ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) regimen in children with persistent severe malnutrition after initial treatment and assessed whether early ...
