Schematic diagram depicting the mechanism of the rigid matrix regulating cell glycolysis in degenerated NPCs. In degenerated NP tissue, MRTF-A was activated by increased matrix stiffness and ...

A preconditioning method for the finite element stiffness matrix is given in this paper. The triangulation is refined in a subregion; the preconditioning process is composed of resolution of two ...

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in humans. Worldwide, as the population ages, the burden of treating heart failure is increasing; opportunities for heart transplantation cannot ...

With highly complex structures, it is sometimes desirable to derive a dynamic model of the system from experimental vibration data. This paper presents algorithms for synthesizing the mass and ...

A new study, led by Prof. Liu from the department of pharmacy, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, discovered that the extracellular cell matrix (ECM) could induce the drug ...
