Microfluidic studies on flow manipulation to assist metastasis research by Tran, Duc Quang

“…Among these, interstitial flow resulted from the intratumoral environment has been proven to be one of the causes assisting the directions of cell detachment and migration in tumor environment. This detachment leads to circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in vasculature or lymphatics, which can result in an uncontrollable spread of malignant tumors in the body. …”

Near-field dynamics of parallel twin jets in cross-flow by Zang, Bin, New, Tze How

“…Moreover, as the separation distance decreases to 1.5D, the twin jets interact closer to the jet exit such that organized leading-edge and lee-side vortices are present along the symmetry plane. …”

Molecular dynamics and simulations study on the vibrational and electronic solvatochromism of benzophenone by Kumar, Venkatraman Ravi, Verma, Chandra, Umapathy, Siva

“…Therefore, we hypothesize that the variation in excitation wavelengths in band I could arise from different solvation states leading to varying solvation dynamics. This will have implications for ultrafast processes associated with electron-transfer, charge transfer, and also the photophysical aspects of excited states.…”

A wearable circulator‐like circularly polarised antenna for full‐duplex wireless body area network applications by Thakur, Ajeet, Sharma, Ashwani, Garcia Zuazola, Ignacio Julio

“…Since the total power at each respective port is maintained and not halved (−3 dB) with the measured port isolation of ~28 dB in real scenarios (with the potential evidence of ~34 dB) within the ISM band, that leads to a circulator‐like antenna, meaning that a typically cascaded circulator/duplexer can be relieved and leave to the digital processing any self‐interference challenge of full duplex systems through digital cancelation techniques, which alleviates the overall costs of RF hardware and eases integration. …”

Effect of dopant solubility and excess doping on the superconducting properties of doped Nb3Sn prepared by field assisted sintering technique by Srivastava, N, Matthews, GAB, Liu, J, Speller, SC, Grovenor, CRM, Santra, S

“…The Y₂O₃ particles was also considered as a possible cause of pinning down of grain boundaries in addition to NbO leading to grain refinement through Zener pinning. …”

The role of calcium dependent neurotransmission in axon path finding, myelination and maintenance of specified cortical projection neuron populations by Korrell, K

“…The overexpression of Kir2.1 lowers the probability of action potential formation through hyperpolarization of the neurons which leads to a decrease of the membrane resistance so that they are less excitable. …”

Chlorine and NaCl in hydrous basaltic melts by Rusiecka, MK, Wood, BJ

“…By systematically increasing the water content of the melt from 0 to 4 wt% at fixed chlorine and oxygen fugacities we find that addition of H₂O leads to an increase in chlorine concentration under all conditions studied. …”

“…Background: Bacterial infection has been estimated to become the leading cause of death by 2050, causing 10 million deaths across the globe due to the surge in antibiotic resistance. …”

Increased interleukin-6 correlates with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies in pediatric monophasic demyelinating diseases and multiple sclerosis by Horellou, P, Wang, M, Keo, V, Chrétien, P, Serguera, C, Waters, P, Deiva, K

“…Acquired demyelinating syndromes (ADS) in children evolve either as a monophasic disease diagnosed as acute demyelinating encephalomyelitis (ADEM), transverse myelitis (TM) or optic neuritis (ON), or a multiphasic one with several relapses most often leading to the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) or neuromyelitis optica (NMO). …”

Nutraceuticals silybin B, resveratrol, and epigallocatechin-3 gallate-bind to cardiac muscle troponin to restore the loss of lusitropy caused by cardiomyopathy mutations in vitro,... by Yang, Z, Sheehan, AM, Messer, AE, Tsui, S, Sparrow, A, Redwood, C, Kren, V, Gould, IR, Marston, SB

“…Phosphorylation causes a 2-3 fold decrease of affinity of cTn for Ca2+ associated with a higher rate of Ca2+ dissociation from cTnC leading to a faster relaxation rate of the cardiac muscle (lusitropy). …”
