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.

Axial stretch of rat single ventricular cardiomyocytes causes an acute and transient increase in Ca2+ spark rate. [PDF]
, 2020 We investigate acute effects of axial stretch, applied by carbon fibers (CFs), on diastolic Ca2+ spark rate in rat isolated cardiomyocytes. CFs were attached either to both cell ends (to maximize the stretched region), or to the center and one end of the

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.

The mechano-electric feedback mediates the dual effect of stretch in mouse sinoatrial tissue
Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology Plus, 2023 The sinoatrial node (SAN) is the primary heart pacemaker. The automaticity of SAN pacemaker cells is regulated by an integrated coupled-clock system. The beat interval (BI) of SAN, and its primary initiation location (inferior vs.

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

Burning velocity and the influence of flame stretch [PDF]
, 1991 A new technique is presented for determining burning velocities and stretch effects in laminar flames, and applied to a range of fuel/air mixtures. The speeds of expanding spherical flames, measured by high-speed schlieren cine-photography, are shown to
