Influence of operating parameters on morphology of laser hardened surfaces by Maharjan, Niroj, Zhou, Wei, Zhou, Yu, Wu, Naien

“…Laser transformation hardening is an attractive heat treatment technology which can be used to enhance the surface properties of highly stressed components such as cams, gears, and bearings without altering its bulk properties. The highly intense laser beam rapidly heats up the irradiated surface above its austenitization temperature which cools down instantaneously (self-quenching) as the laser moves away from the spot producing a hardened surface. …”

Mitofusins Mfn1 and Mfn2 are required to preserve glucose- but not incretin-stimulated β-cell connectivity and insulin secretion by Georgiadou, Eleni, Muralidharan, Charanya, Martinez, Michelle, Chabosseau, Pauline, Akalestou, Elina, Tomas, Alejandra, Yong, Fiona Su Wern, Stylianides, Theodoros, Wretlind, Asger, Legido-Quigley, Cristina, Jones, Ben, Lopez-Noriega, Livia, Xu, Yanwen, Gu, Guoqiang, Alsabeeh, Nour, Cruciani-Guglielmacci, Céline, Magnan, Christophe, Ibberson, Mark, Leclerc, Isabelle, Ali, Yusuf, Soleimanpour, Scott A., Linnemann, Amelia K., Rodriguez, Tristan A., Rutter, Guy A.

“…Whether mitofusin gene expression, and hence, mitochondrial network integrity, is important for glucose or incretin signaling has not previously been explored. Here, we generated mice with β-cell-selective, adult-restricted deletion knock-out (dKO) of the mitofusin genes Mfn1 and Mfn2 (βMfn1/2 dKO). βMfn1/2-dKO mice displayed elevated fed and fasted glycemia and a more than fivefold decrease in plasma insulin. …”
