Size Dependence of the Magnetoelastic Properties of Metallic Glasses for Actuation Applications
(MDPI, 2019-10-04)
We present an exhaustive study of the magnetoelastic properties of 24 strips with different rectangular dimensions, cut from a long ribbon of Metglas((R)) 2826MB3. The strips have a length-to-width ratio R = L/w ranging ...

Rapid colour changes in Euglena sanguinea (Euglenophyceae) caused by internal lipid globule migration
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-11-23)
The accumulation of red pigments under chronic stress is a response observed in most
groups of oxygenic photoautotrophs. It is thought that the red pigments in the cell shield
the chlorophyll located underneath from the ...
Surface Expression and Subunit Specific Control of Steady Protein Levels by the Kv7.2 Helix A-B Linker
(Public Library of Science, 2013-10-24)
Kv7.2 and Kv7.3 are the main components of the neuronal voltage-dependent M-current, which is a subthreshold potassium conductance that exerts an important control on neuronal excitability. Despite their predominantly ...
SUMOylation Protects FASN Against Proteasomal Degradation in Breast Cancer Cells Treated with Grape Leaf Extract
(MDPI, 2020-03-02)
Existing therapeutic strategies for breast cancer are limited by tumor recurrence and drug-resistance. Antioxidant plant-derived compounds such as flavonoids reduce adverse outcomes and have been identified as a potential ...
