Inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum stress using 4-phenyl butyrate mitigates osteoporosis in a mouse model of hindlimb suspension by Al-Daghestani, Hiba Saad Subhi

“…The tibiae bones of the untreated HLS group demonstrated lower osteocyte density, numerous multinucleated osteoclast-like cells, and adipocyte infiltration within the marrow, while micro-CT revealed lower bone volume fraction, reduced trabecular thickness, along with fewer trabeculae striations with increased trabecular separation. …”

Design and development of a biopolymer microfiber fabrication device by Yap, Yi-Liang.

“…Molten polymer within a holding cup with a tiny orifice below is drawn by a needle and stuck onto a spinning mandrel for collection. As the melt is pulled from the orifice, extensional flow causes the thinning in the melt diameter and the atmosphere cools the melt down into a fiber before it is collected on the mandrel. …”

Nb and Ta intracrustal differentiation during granulite-facies metamorphism: evidence from geochemical data of natural rocks and thermodynamic modeling by Huang, G, Chen, Y, Guo, J, Palin, R, Zhao, L

“…As biotite preferentially incorporates Nb over Ta, the early stages of biotite dehydration melting produce a high-Nb/Ta residue and a low-Nb/Ta melt; however, geochemical modeling suggests that once biotite is depleted, the Nb/Ta ratio of the system is instead controlled by rutile growth, which promotes the formation of a lower Nb/Ta residue and a higher Nb/ Ta melt, even though the volume of melt produced at this stage may be small. …”
