Interestingly, MDA-MB-231 cells, while exhibiting rigidity-dependent proliferation, did not express detectable levels of E-cadherin at either 150 Pa or 19200 Pa (data not shown), suggesting that these cells, while morphologically similar to A549 cells on soft and rigid substrates, do not alter the expression of this epithelial marker when exposed to a soft microenvironment.
According to Janet Treasure, professor of psychiatry at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College, London, around a fifth of girls diagnosed with anorexia have autistic spectrum features and 20 to 30 per cent may have exhibited rigidity and perfectionism in childhood.
The existence of the icosahedral local order, which exhibits rigidity for three-dimensional shear deformation with mixed mode II mode III, may be responsible for good elasticity of the glassy alloy.
Healthy trees with no scale infestation history exhibited rigidity of 11,527 ± 312 Nm, trees following two years of scale infestation exhibited rigidity of 9,201 ± 87 Nm and trees following five years of scale infestation exhibited rigidity of 5,422 ± 67 Nm (p ≤ 0.0001).
Exposed workers often exhibit tremors, rigidity, and coordination problems strikingly similar to those observed in Parkinson's disease.
Similarly, the lending rates could exhibit downward rigidity in reaction to a reduction in the monetary policy rate as lower lending rates imply lower profits for banks.
In particular, the bargaining power of banks could explain why the lending rates exhibit downward rigidity to a monetary policy rate cut and upward flexibility to a monetary policy rate hike.
Even universal enveloping algebras of finite-dimensional central simple Lie algebras exhibit certain rigidity if considered as Moufang Hopf algebras since all their deformations are necessarily associative and coassociative; in other words, are quantized enveloping algebras in the usual sense [29, 43].
Promoters not containing a consensus TATA-box also exhibited some rigidity at the − 34 to − 23 region (Fig. S5) plus an increase in propeller twist angles downstream of the TSS.
PSCs exposed to a stiffness gradient expressed a marked predilection towards stiff substrate, with those exposed to only a single rigidity exhibiting undirected, limited movement.
These individuals exhibited asymmetric tremor, rigidity, akinesia and, at times, dementia, showing that cognitive changes had also occurred.
