Cyclic stretch regulates immune responses via tank‐binding kinase 1 expression in macrophages
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "FEBS Open Bio"
DOI: 10.1002/2211-5463.13526
Abstract: Macrophages distributed in tissues throughout the body contribute to homeostasis. In the inflammatory state, macrophages undergo mechanical stress that regulates the signal transduction of immune responses and various cellular functions. However, the effects of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00221-019-05603-1
Abstract: In people with spasticity due to chronic incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI), it has been presumed that the abnormal stretch reflex activity impairs gait. However, locomotor stretch reflexes across all phases of walking have not… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10439-021-02869-x
Abstract: Recent clinical studies have shown that traumatic brain injury is a significant risk factor for stroke. Motivated to better understand possible mechanisms of this association, we studied subfailure disruption of the intima in overstretched sheep… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12035-017-0812-z
Abstract: Angiotensin II (Ang II) is a mediator of oxidative stress via activation/induction of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species-generating enzymes, NADPH oxidase (NOX) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). We investigated the hypothesis that overproduction of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12551-020-00615-6
Abstract: The mechanical response of the heart to myocardial stretch has been understood since the work of muscle physiologists more than 100 years ago, whereby an increase in ventricular chamber filling during diastole increases the subsequent force… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bpj.2016.12.012
Abstract: During animal development and homeostasis, the structure of tissues, including muscles, blood vessels, and connective tissues, adapts to mechanical strains in the extracellular matrix (ECM). These strains originate from the differential growth of tissues or… read more here.
