A change of state occurs upon compression, the film acquiring marked rigidity in the plane of the surface; upon the slender basis of an analogy with the behaviour of proteins in bulk, the film in ...

"Although glasses and gels have similar characteristics as amorphous solids—like rigidity without order ... "While studying how the elastic modulus of colloidal gels changes with time, we ...
Figure 6. Impact of buckling load on elastic modulus. This figure shows that the elastic modulus decreases with increasing load, indicating a loss of material rigidity. The durability of the material ...
Cell competition in epithelial tissue eliminates transformed cells expressing activated oncoproteins to maintain epithelial homeostasis. Although the process is now understood to be of mechanochemical ...
These include, but are not limited to, tremors, slowed movement (bradykinesia), stiffness (postural rigidity), and imbalance. What Parkinson's looks like differs a bit from person to person, but ...
By adjusting the ratio of soft and hard segments, As the content of hard segments increased, the storage modulus and tensile strength of the material increased, the elongation at break decreased, and ...

Results: Because there is no definitive test for the diagnosis of PD, the disease must be diagnosed based on clinical criteria. Rest tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity and loss of postural reflexes are ...
The evidence supporting the authors' claims is compelling. The work will be of interest to cell biologists and biophysicists working on rigidity sensing, the cytoskeleton, and cell migration. Cell ...
