Abstract: In active thyroid eye disease (TED), the extraocular muscles feature excessive hyaluronan (HA) accumulation and increased fibroblast proliferation. To investigate the effects of HA on proliferation, we cultured perimysial fibroblasts from extraocular muscles of active… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.macromol.9b00809
Abstract: The static and dynamic behaviors of linear and ring polymers under shear flow over a wide range of shear rates are studied using a hybrid simulation method that couples multiple-particle collision dynamics with molecular dynamics.… read more here.
