Physical Biology of Axonal Damage
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
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 ...

Orientation dependent elastic stress concentration at tips of slender objects translating in viscoelastic fluids [PDF]
Elastic stress concentration at tips of long slender objects moving in viscoelastic fluids has been observed in numerical simulations, but despite the prevalence of flagellated motion in complex fluids in many biological functions, the physics of stress ...

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

Rotation of a single acetylene molecule on Cu(001) by tunneling electrons in STM
We study the elementary processes behind one of the pioneering works on STM controlled reactions of single molecules [Stipe et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 1263 (1998)].

Topological optimisation of rod-stirring devices
There are many industrial situations where rods are used to stir a fluid, or where rods repeatedly stretch a material such as bread dough or taffy. The goal in these applications is to stretch either material lines (in a fluid) or the material itself ...

Finite Element Simulations of stretch-blow moulding with experimental validation over a broad process window [PDF]
Injection stretch blow moulding is a well-established method of forming thin-walled containers and has been extensively researched for numerous years. This paper is concerned with validating the finite element analysis of the free-stretch-blow process in

Azelnidipine inhibits cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cell death induced by cyclic mechanical stretch. [PDF]
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 ...
