Conversely, if wetting is partial, the resulting contact angle reaches equilibrium in the range 0 to 180 degrees. Want to know more about surface treatment of metals? Click here then.Solving your adhesion probl
What is metal 3D printing? How does this additive technology work? This article covers the basic principles of SLM (selective laser melting) and DMLS (direct metal laser sintering) and how these relate to the key benefits and limitations of 3D printing.
In CRC patients, however, an imbalance of the gut microbiome (dysbiosis) is present. It has therefore been suggested that bacteria interfere with the molecular mechanisms underlying CRC. Many effects of CRC-associated bacteria have been described (Box 1); however, the underlying pro-oncogenic ...
However, this convention does not mean to suggest that force can only change the energy barrier level but not the energy well level in a real protein complex structure; to the contrary, both are possible70. Full size image Besides binding properties of the TCR–pMHC complex, its structural ...
Despite the broad efficacy of IVIG therapy, its modes of action remain unclear. In this Review, we cover the recent insights into the molecular and cellular pathways that are involved in IVIG-mediated immunosuppression, with a particular focus on IVIG as a therapy for IgG-dependent autoimmune ...
In conclusion, we argue that while researchers acknowledge the complex- ity of the brain on a generic level, they do not grant this complexity to the brains of individuals diagnosed with a mental disorder. Keywords Neuropsychiatry · Complexity · Technological mediation theory · ...
At the molecular level, CXCR4 is regulated by factors related to stress and tissue damage, including NF-κB [82], HIF-1 [83], TGF-ß [84], VEGF [85], IFN-α [86], IL-2, IL-4 and IL-7 [87, 88], leading to increased surface expression. CXCR4 is incorporated into lipid ...
Cancerous cells adopt various strategies to evade anoikis, for instance, anti-apoptotic BCL-2 protein activation, adhesion-related gene silence, focal adhesion kinase signaling perturbation, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition induction, and others [4]. These anoikis-resistant mechanisms are considered a...
“cell–cell adhesion”, “head, cardiovascular, sensory and skeletal development”, and “embryonic organ development”) [137]. These alterations were potentially transferred to the offspring, as mating DEHP-exposed males and non-exposed females prior to conception was reported to lead to ...
It is well known that 7-14-day hindlimb unloading leads to a decrease in the content and kinase activity of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in rat soleus muscle [125,126]. Unfortunately, there is a lack of data on the changes in the integrin/FAK complex at the early s...
