Sentence examples for altered elastic from inspiring English sources

Second, osteoporosis may cause reduced bone density, potentially leading to an altered elastic modulus.

Since this parameter incorporates lung and chest wall properties, a separate assessment of which of these compartments are responsible for the altered elastic recoil of the respiratory system is not possible.

Characterization of the mouse model led to a model of acquired elastolysis [ 35] with evidence suggesting that the altered elastic fiber structure could change the expression phenotype of the underlying vascular smooth muscle cells, resulting in the increased expression of several proteases.

This tendency for bioplastics to absorb water may result in plastic with lower elasticity as the moisture content may alter the elastic modulus of the resulting plastic.

The response of cells to structural and molecular alterations induced by the onset and progression of diseases also alter their elastic and viscoelastic properties.

It was found that the new characterization method can predict experimental measurements very well, that the CNT waviness greatly influences the elastic properties of a CNT-composite, and that the CNT alignment plays a superior role in altering the elastic properties of the composite.

One is the surface modification which could arise from the change of the surface tension of the nanowires and decreasing diameter due to the large surface-to-volume ratio; another is the change of crystallographic directions in the nanowires that also alter their elastic modulus.

In agreement with previous work [ 14, 15], this study found that riboflavin/UVA CXL is effective in altering the elastic properties of rabbit sclera.

5 Elevated total Hcy is known to be able to increase oxidative stress, diminish vasodilation, stimulate the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells, alter the elastic properties of the vascular wall, and thus increase the risk for atherosclerosis.

Storage modulus of CGG and CGE in both dry and wet state remains constant throughout the run, indicating that initial elasticity of the material increased with the applied force and then it showed resistance to the same force, which means it does not alter the elastic component of the material.

Such global ECM changes may affect the muscle stem cell niche through multiple mechanisms, by changing the ability of the basal lamina to serve as a reservoir for ECM-bound growth factors, modifying satellite cell adhesion to the basal lamina, and altering the elastic properties of muscle tissue [18].
