An investigation on the role of tarsal flexibility in insect walking by Tjuatja, Johan

“…Although there is a wealth of literature on various physical properties of insect leg, such as strength and inner structure, there seems to be a lack of knowledge on the functions or roles of the individual leg segments, such as the tarsus. While the tarsus has been long known to be flexible, there has currently been no study that explains what the purpose of this flexibility is in insect leg. …”

Design, synthesis, characterization and property study of topological structures of DNA by Li, Dawei

“…It is also shown unprecedentedly in our investigation that the size of DNA writhe could be accurately engineered by altering T-rich and A-rich segments in the target duplex DNAs. In addition, the results of our studies confirmed that the intrinsic curvatures of organismal DNAs alone could lead to the generation of duplex backbone self-crossings in their relaxed forms and the backbone self-crossings of those organismal DNAs could be readily confirmed through atomic force microscopic examination. …”

Cell charactetization in differnet regions of the native annulus fibrous in a porcine intervetebral disc model through cell sorting and molecular analysis by Teo, Tong

“…The factors that lead to low back pain are complex, there has been more evidence that shows that intervertebral disc degeneration serves as a major contributor leading to the destabilization of the spinal motion segment hence resulting in pain and disability. Current treatments include conservative ones such as the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for short term relief and surgical ones such as spinal fusion to alleviate pain caused by IVD degeneration. …”
