Ozone Pollution, Oxidative Stress, Regulatory T Cells and Antioxidants
Ozone pollution, is a serious health problem worldwide. Repeated exposure to low ozone doses causes a loss of regulation of the oxidation–reduction systems, and also induces a chronic state of oxidative stress.

Initiation mechanism of cracks of rock in compression and shear considering T-stress
In the studies on the initiation mechanism of cracks of rock in compression and shear, the traditional fracture theory only considers the singular stress (r1/2 term) of the elastic stress state near a crack tip in the Williams’ series expression, and ...

Décollement geometry controls on shallow very low frequency earthquakes
Recent studies have documented the occurrence of shallow very low frequency earthquakes (VLFE) in subduction zones. The heterogeneity of the materials or stresses that act on the plate interface results in the variable slip rate.

Fluid shear stress enhances T cell activation through Piezo1
Background T cell activation is a mechanical process as much as it is a biochemical process. In this study, we used a cone-and-plate viscometer system to treat Jurkat and primary human T cells with fluid shear stress (FSS) to enhance the activation of ...

Wedge splitting test: Displacement field analysis by multi-parameter fracture mechanics [PDF]
Multi-parameter fracture mechanics is nowadays quite extensively applied when cracked structures/specimens are investigated. The reason was that it has been shown that it can be helpful and bring results that are more accurate when for describing of ...

New Natural Injection-Moldable Composite Material from Sunflower Oil Cake [PDF]
Through a twin-screw extrusion process the native structure of sunflower oil cake was completely transformed (globular protein denaturation/texturization and husk fiber defibration) into a simpler matrix-fiber structure, as could be seen on SEM ...

miR200-regulated CXCL12β promotes fibroblast heterogeneity and immunosuppression in ovarian cancers
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are an important part of the tumor microenvironment. Here the authors characterize four subsets of CAFs across human samples of ovarian cancer subtypes and show in the mesenchymal subtype a specific CAF-S1 population ...
