Local Strain Relaxation Dictates Polymer Melt Viscosity
A remarkable manifestation of slow dynamics in dense polymeric systems is that their viscosity scales with their molecular weight as a power-law, with the “viscosity exponent” mη, experimentally measured to be 3.4 ± 0.2. Following De Gennes’ work in 1971, current understanding of this slow dynamics is based upon an effective single-polymer theory that pictures every polymer in such systems movi...
متن کاملViscosity dictates metabolic activity of Vibrio ruber
Little is known about metabolic activity of bacteria, when viscosity of their environment changes. In this work, bacterial metabolic activity in media with viscosity ranging from 0.8 to 29.4 mPas was studied. Viscosities up to 2.4 mPas did not affect metabolic activity of Vibrio ruber. On the other hand, at 29.4 mPas respiration rate and total dehydrogenase activity increased 8 and 4-fold, resp...
متن کاملAutophagic activity dictates the cellular response to oncogenic RAS.
RAS is frequently mutated in human cancers and has opposing effects on autophagy and tumorigenesis. Identifying determinants of the cellular responses to RAS is therefore vital in cancer research. Here, we show that autophagic activity dictates the cellular response to oncogenic RAS. N-terminal Apoptosis-stimulating of p53 protein 2 (ASPP2) mediates RAS-induced senescence and inhibits autophagy...
متن کاملNanoparticle hydrophobicity dictates immune response.
Understanding the interactions of nanomaterials with the immune system is essential for the engineering of new macromolecular systems for in vivo applications. Systematic study of immune activation is challenging due to the complex structure of most macromolecular probes. We present here the use of engineered gold nanoparticles to determine the sole effect of hydrophobicity on the immune respon...
متن کاملCell geometry dictates TNFα-induced genome response.
Cells in physiology integrate local soluble and mechanical signals to regulate genomic programs. Whereas the individual roles of these signals are well studied, the cellular responses to the combined chemical and physical signals are less explored. Here, we investigated the cross-talk between cellular geometry and TNFα signaling. We stabilized NIH 3T3 fibroblasts into rectangular anisotropic or...
