Journal ArticleDOI

Dihedral angles between alveolar septa

E. H. Oldmixon, +2 more
- 01 Jan 1988 - 
TL;DR: Findings imply that at VL30 tensions exerted by septa are locally homogeneous and at lower lung volumes become less so, and therefore the local uniformity of tensions suggests a stress-responsive mechanism for forming or remodeling the connective tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Control of cell volume in oocytes and eggs from Xenopus laevis.

Suzanne M. Kelly, +5 more
- 01 Aug 1995 - 
TL;DR: The data indicate that Vc in oocytes and eggs is not regulated by either plasma membrane ion transport or the mechanical properties of the vitelline envelope, and it is speculated that the ability of eggs to maintain volume is determined, in part, by the cytoplasm, in particular by its gel-like nature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Directional memory and caged dynamics in cytoskeletal remodelling.

Guillaume Lenormand, +4 more
- 07 Sep 2007 - 
TL;DR: These data are the first to provide a molecular-scale physical picture describing the cytoskeletal remodelling process and its rate of progression and are shown to provide direct evidence in a living cell of molecular trapping and caged dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acoustic Pharyngometry Measurement of Minimal Cross-Sectional Airway Area Is a Significant Independent Predictor of Moderate-To-Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Pamela N. DeYoung, +6 more
- 15 Nov 2013 - 
TL;DR: Objective anatomical assessment can significantly differentiate those with mild versus moderate-to-severe OSA in a clinical setting, and may have utility as a component in stratifying risk of OSA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Remodeling of integrated contractile tissues and its dependence on strain-rate amplitude.

Madavi Oliver, +5 more
- 08 Oct 2010 - 
TL;DR: Although both relaxation regimes are innately nonlinear, these regimes are unified and their positions along the frequency axis are set by the imposed strain-rate amplitude.
