Mechanical perturbations increase intracellular Ca2+ in cells, but the coupling of mechanical forces to the Ca2+ influx is not well understood.We used a microfluidic chamber driven with a high-speed pressure servo to generate defined fluid shear stress to cultured astrocytes, and simultaneously measured cytoskeletal forces using a force sensitive a
Globally, renewable energy-based power generation is experiencing exponential growth due to concerns over the environmental impacts of traditional power generation methods.Microgrids (MGs) are commonly Range Hood employed to integrate renewable sources due to their distributed nature, with batteries often used to compensate for power fluctuations c
Introduction: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a genetic disease, which is caused by deficiency in phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) enzyme.Untreated patients will develop a severe mental retardation, which is irreversible.In this study, the incidence of the PKU disease among isolated mentally retarded residents in institutions in Isfahan, was investigated.&
