External strengthening of shear deficient reinforced concrete beams with flexural CFRP laminates by Hawileh, Rami

“…It could be concluded that external flexural CFRP reinforcement has a significant effect on the concrete shear strength of beams and could be used as a valid alternative when the vertical sides of RC beams are not accessible.…”

Chronic reduction of store operated Ca²⁺ entry is viable therapeutically but is associated with cardiovascular complications by Fang Yu (156838)

“…They further establish the SOCE hypomorph line as a genetic model to define the therapeutic window of SOCE inhibition and dissect toxicities associated with chronic SOCE inhibition in a tissue-specific fashion.</p> <h2>Key points</h2> <ul> <li>A floxed stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) hypomorph mouse model was generated with significant reduction in Ca²⁺ influx through store-operated Ca²⁺ entry (SOCE), resulting in defective nuclear translocation of nuclear factor of activated T cells, cytokine production and inflammatory response. …”

Fixing a heart valve by Nature Research (16552612)

“…And yet, surgeons are often unwilling to repair the mitral valve, because the procedure is more challenging than valve replacement. As Antune points out, however, the proportion of repaired valves that need to be replaced later on decreases with surgeons' increasing experience of the procedure. …”
