Role of the microstructure on the mechanical properties of fully pearlitic eutectoid steels by J. Toribio, B. González, J.C. Matos, F.J. Ayaso

“…Results show how the yield strength, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and the ductility, increase as the continuous cooling rate rises, whereas on the other hand the strain at UTS decreases. The fracture surface exhibits more brittle features when the continuous cooling rate decreases, in such a manner that in the fracture process zone an increasing area appears where the pearlite lamellae can be detected and less regions of microvoids are observed.…”

Proteolytically generated soluble Tweak Receptor Fn14 is a blood biomarker for γ‐secretase activity by Gökhan Güner, Marlene Aßfalg, Kai Zhao, Tobias Dreyer, Shibojyoti Lahiri, Yun Lo, Bianca Ionela Slivinschi, Axel Imhof, Georg Jocher, Laura Strohm, Christian Behrends, Dieter Langosch, Holger Bronger, Christopher Nimsky, Jörg W Bartsch, Stanley R Riddell, Harald Steiner, Stefan F Lichtenthaler

“…Inhibition of γ‐secretase in tumor cells reduced sFn14 secretion, increased full‐length Fn14 at the cell surface, and enhanced TWEAK ligand‐stimulated Fn14 signaling through the NFκB pathway, which led to enhanced release of the cytokine tumor necrosis factor. γ‐Secretase‐dependent sFn14 release was also detected ex vivo in primary tumor cells from glioblastoma patients, in mouse and human plasma and was strongly reduced in blood from human cancer patients dosed with a γ‐secretase inhibitor prior to chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)‐T‐cell treatment. …”
