Persistent elevation of intrathecal pro-inflammatory cytokines leads to multiple sclerosis-like cortical demyelination and neurodegeneration by James, Rachel E., Schalks, Renee, Browne, Eleanor, Eleftheriadou, Ioanna, Munoz, Carmen Picon, Mazarakis, Nicholas D., Reynolds, Richard

“…Our results suggest that persistent expression of TNF in the presence of IFNγ is a potent inducer of meningeal inflammation and can activate TNF signalling pathways in cortical cells leading to neuronal death and subpial demyelination and thus may contribute to clinical progression in MS.…”

Free vibration of exponential functionally graded beams with single delamination by Xiao, Jing, Shu, Dongwei, Liu, Yang

“…This is the first study on the influences of delamination (its length and location) on the vibration of exponential functionally graded beams. Results show that the natural frequency increases as the Young's modulus ratio increases, but such increase is smaller when the beam suffers a longer delamination. …”
