Stretch intensity and the inflammatory response
Background: Stretching may be viewed as an external/internal force influencing the range of motion of the connective tissue (muscles, tendons and the myotendon unit (MTU)) The magnitude and rate of stretching may potentially induce mechanical responses of the musculoskeletal system, such as …

Response of stretch-injured schwann cells
… have been performed to observe and analyze stretch injured axons, but very little has been done to study the white matter axonal tracts, oligodendrocytes. Schwann cells can help take a first look into stretch injured glia cells from the Peripheral nervous system. In order to observe changes …

Deciphering the biology of axon stretch-growth
… It is believed that once the axons synapse, stretch-growth takes over and is responsible for the great lengths achieved by nerves of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Recent work has demonstrated stretch-growth in vitro resulting in dramatically increased growth rates compared to …

Multi well uni-axial stretch injury device
… diffuse brain injury is the result of uni-axial stretch of brain axons in traumatic brain injury. Traumatic injury to axons throughout the brain and is believed to be a major cause for coma, and other complications. Diffuse axonal injury is mostly multi-focal and appears throughout the deep …

Stretch induced hyperexcitability of mice callosal pathway
… plasticity is also sensitive to mechanical stretch. This is important, given the host of clinical conditions involving changes in mechanical tension on the brain, and the normal role that mechanical tension plays in brain development. A novel platform is developed to investigate neural …

Stretch-Shortening Cycle in Human Muscle Contraction: The Role of the Stretch Reflex in Force Production in Various Vertical Jumps
Although researchers agree that both the stretch reflex and the elasticity of the muscle contribute to the effectiveness and efficiency of human performances, the relative contributions of each have not been determined, because no direct measurements have been utilized. Therefore, the purpose of …

Stretch: Scalable Multi-Threaded Execution for Distributed Machines
This thesis presents Stretch, a Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) system that transparently scales multithreaded POSIX applications across multiple physical nodes by leveraging recent Linux kernel APIs exposed to user space. Motivated by the widening gap between stagnant single-core CPU performance …

Design of three-dimensional axon stretch growth device
… nervous tissue construct spanned by stretch grown axon tracts. These tracts of living axons are intended to act as a bridge to facilitate axon outgrowth from the nerve construct to the host nerves over long SCI lesions. While axon stretch growth is fast and efficient, the current …

Design For Movement: Block Pattern Design For Stretch Performancewear
… modifications to generate patterns for modern stretch fabrics can be successful but it is often at a cost. In the development of a stretch pattern, an acceptable fit cannot be guaranteed merely by using a rationalised simple pattern profile shape. Producing a pattern, without darts, to closely …

Stretch-Dependant Tonic Force Maintenance in Rabbit Epigastric Artery
… regulatory mechanism controlled by the degree of stretch applied on the artery which produces an increase in tonic force maintenance. Tonic force in EA is blocked equally at all lengths by the ROK inhibitor Y-27632, suggesting ROK is the main mechanism of signal transduction activated.MLC-p is …

Self-stabilizing interval routing algorithm with low stretch factor
… PIR strategy allows routing along paths whose stretch factor is at most five, and whose average stretch factor is at most three with routing tables of size O(n3/2log 23/2n) bits in total, where n is the number of nodes in the network. Stretch factor is the maximum ratio taken over all …

The effect of a muscle energy stretch on suboccipital tenderness
Background and objective: Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is commonly advocated by authors of manual therapy as a means of treating spinal pain and dysfunction, but there is little evidence of its role in pain modulation. This controlled and single blinded study aimed to investigate the effect of MET …

The effects of rapid stretch injury on rat neocortical cultures
… to axons have been elucidated using in vitro stretch injury models. These models, however, are based on the experimentation of single cultures keeping productivity slow. Indeed, low yield has hindered important and well founded investigations requiring high throughput methods such as proteomic …

Stretch Injury Alters Calcium Dynamics and Actin Organization in Human Astrocytes
… In this research, a two- dimensional in vitro stretch model was used to apply controlled mechanical strain to monolayers of hiPSC-derived astrocytes cultured on flexible PDMS substrates. Cellular responses were assessed using a combination of live calcium imaging and immunofluorescence. Results …

Role of microRNA 214 in cyclic stretch induced aortic valve pathogenesis
… in AV. However, the effect of cyclic stretch on miR-214 expression and its functional effect in AV are poorly understood. Hence, this work aims to evaluate the effect of cyclic stretch on the expression of miR-214 and one of its well-known targets (ATF4) and downstream genes (CHOP and …
