Myocardial infarction (MI) is a pathological process, evidencing as massive death of cardiomyocytes associated with hypoxic and oxidative stress. The formation of areas of fibrosis ultimately leads to heart failure. There are some mechanisms that contribute to the functional repair of the heart. In most mammals, including humans, the Notch signaling pathway has cardioprotective effects. It is involved in the formation of the heart in embryogenesis and in the restoration of cardiac function after MI due to: (1) reducing oxidative stress; (2) prevention of apoptosis; (3) regulation of inflammation; (4) containment of fibrosis and hypertrophy of cardiomyocytes; (5) tissue revascularization; and (6) regulation of proliferation and differentiation of cardiomyocytes. In addition, the Notch signaling pathway interacts with other signaling cascades involved in the pathogenesis of MI and subsequent cardiac repair. In this review, we consider the Notch signaling pathway as a potential target for therapeutic approaches aimed at improving cardiac recovery after MI.

Aims: Vertebrates vary greatly in their abilities to regenerate injured hearts. Zebrafish possess a remarkable capacity for cardiac regeneration, making them an excellent model for regeneration research. Recent studies have reported the activation and underlying regulatory mechanisms of leptin b (lepb) and the leptin b-linked enhancer (LEN) in injured hearts.

NUMB alternative splicing and isoform specific functions in development and disease.

The NUMB gene encodes a conserved adaptor protein with roles in asymmetric cell division and cell fate determination. First described as an inhibitor of Notch signaling, multi-functional NUMB proteins regulate multiple cellular pathways through protein complexes with ubiquitin ligases, polarity proteins and the endocytic machinery. The vertebrate NUMB protein isoforms were identified over two decades ago, yet the majority of functional studies exploring NUMB function in endocytosis, cell migration and adhesion, development and disease have largely neglected the potential for distinct isoform activity in design and interpretation.

The next generation of stretchable electronics seeks to integrate superior mechanical properties with sustainability and sensing stability. Ionically conductive and liquid-free elastomers have gained recognition as promising candidates, addressing the challenges of evaporation and leakage in gel-based conductors. In this study, a sustainable polymeric deep eutectic system is synergistically integrated with amino-terminated hyperbranched polyamide-modified fibers and aluminum ions, forming a conductive supramolecular network with significant improvements in mechanical performance.

Pulsation noise in the piping system generated by the excitation of the pump source seriously affects the reliability of the pipeline system and mechanical equipment. The active noise control can effectively suppress the low-frequency noise in the liquid-filled pipeline. Active control methods with intrusive secondary sources generally use dynamic pressure sensors or hydrophones to collect signals, which destroy the structure of the pipe.

A Study on the Fracture of Brittle Heterogeneous Materials Using Non-Extensive Statistical Mechanics and the Energy Distribution Function.

Materials (Basel)

January 2025

Laboratory for Testing and Materials, Department of Mechanics, School of Applied Mathematical and Physical Sciences, National Technical University of Athens, Zografou Campus, 157 73 Athens, Greece.

The fracture process of heterogeneous materials is studied here in the framework of the discipline of Non-Extensive Statistical Mechanics. Acoustic emission data provided by an experimental protocol with concrete specimens, plain or fiber-reinforced, under bending are taken advantage of. This innovation of the study lies in the fact that the analysis of the acoustic activity is implemented in terms of the energy content of the acoustic signals rather than of their interevent time or their interevent distance.
