Many bacteria exist in a state of metabolic quiescence where energy consumption must be
minimized so as to maximize available resources over a potentially extended period of time. …

We present a microfabricated hybrid biopolymer microcantilever, in which the contractile
force of self-organized cardiomyocytes can be measured and studied, as a prototype for the …

Cancer cells undergo uncontrolled proliferation resulting from aberrant activity of various cell-cycle
proteins. Therefore, despite recent advances in intensive chemotherapy, it is difficult …

CCAR2 (cell cycle and apoptosis regulator 2) controls a variety of cellular functions; however,
its main function is to regulate cell survival and cell death in response to genotoxic and …

The pyrolysis of Jatropha seedshell cake (JSC), palm kernel shell (PKS) and empty palm fruit
bunches (EFB), as waste from the palm and Jatropha oil industries, was investigated in a …

The use of wearable robots to provide walking assistance has rapidly grown over the past
decade, with notable advances made in robot design and control methods toward reducing …

We have proposed a prototype model of walking micro robot using IPMC (Ionic Polymer
Metal Composite) actuators. The stiffness of IPMC actuator is a key parameter to implement a …

IPMC (Ionic Polymer Metal Composite) is a promising candidate actuator for bio-related
applications mainly due to its biocompatibility, soft properties and operation in wet condition. The …

This article proposes a new version of a variable gravity compensation mechanism (CVGC-II)
for mobile manipulation robots, such as mobile manipulators and exoskeletons. CVGC-II, …

CCAR2 (cell cycle and apoptosis regulator 2) is a multifaceted protein involved in cell
survival and death following cytotoxic stress. However, little is known about the physiological …
