We demonstrate the ability to guide high-frequency photoacoustic waves through thick tissue with a water-filled silica-capillary (150 mu m inner diameter and 30 mm long). An optical-resolution photoacoustic image of a 30 mu m diameter absorbing nylon threa ...
We are interested in the mathematical modeling of the deformation of the human lung tissue, called the lung parenchyma, during the respiration process. The parenchyma is a foam-like elastic material containing millions of air-filled alveoli connected by a ...
In attempts to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of spinal injuries and spinal deformities, several experimental and numerical studies have been conducted to understand the biomechanical behavior of the spine. However, numerical biomechanical studies suf ...
In a confluent, single-cell tissue layer, we show that cell shapes and statistics correlate directly with the tissue’s mechanical properties, described by an energy functional with generic interfacial terms only. Upon increasing the cohesive component of t ...
According to the insurance hypothesis, more diverse plant communities are more likely to be resistant to drought. Whilst many experiments have been carried out to determine the effects of plant diversity on plant community insurance, the results are still ...
Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a powerful technique to assess the mechanical properties of living tissue. However, it suffers from reduced sensitivity in regions with short T-2 and T-2* such as in tissue with high concentrations of paramagnetic i ...
Metamerism is a widespread feature of multicellular body plans; however, our understanding of the underlying mechanisms that generate these patterns is currently based on only a few model organisms. In particular, vertebrate embryos use a segmentation cloc ...
The present invention relates to precursor molecules for the synthesis of D-luciferin, or blocked D-luciferin and derivatives thereof, which are functionalized in different positions. Further, the use of functionalized precursor molecules for the synthesis ...
Metabolic homeostasis requires that cellular energy levels are adapted to environmental cues. This adaptation is largely regulated at the transcriptional level, through the interaction between transcription factors, coregulators, and the basal transcriptio ...
Ten oxidosqualene c-yclase inhibitors with high efficacy as cholesterol-lowering agents and of different chemical structure classes were evaluated as potential anticancer agents against human cancer cells from various tissue origins and nontumoral human-br ...
