Abstract: In this work, a compression-induced percolation threshold was found when the thickness of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) nanocomposite samples was reduced via a spatial confining forced network assembly (SCFNA) process from 1.0 mm to 0.1 mm. Such as for… read more here.

Abstract: As theoretically hypothesized for several decades in group IV transition metals, we have discovered a dynamically stabilized body-centered cubic (bcc) intermediate state in Zr under uniaxial loading at sub-nanosecond timescales. Under ultrafast shock wave compression,… read more here.

Abstract: Cells can sense mechanical signals through cytoskeleton reorganization. We previously discovered the formation of omni-directional actin protrusions upon compression loading, namely compression-induced actin protrusions (CAPs), in human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in 3D micro-tissues. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2019/4764071
Abstract: Excessive compression, the main cause of intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration, affected endogenous repair of the intervertebral disc. Pioglitazone (PGZ) is the agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ, which has been widely used in the treatment… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2020.00685
Abstract: Nucleus pulposus-derived stem/progenitor cells (NPSCs) provide novel prospects for the regeneration of degenerated intervertebral disc (IVD). Nevertheless, with aging and degeneration of IVD, the frequency of NPSCs markedly decreases. Excessive cell death could be the… read more here.
