For example, there is an optimal stress relaxation time intrinsic to the soft substrate to maximize cell spreading, whereas stress relaxation time does not affect cell spreading on stiff substrates. The viscous element of the tissue also can also contribute to cell behaviors. Recent evidences showed that viscous dissipation, or known as stress relaxation in the tissues may be involved in modulating proliferation, differentiation, and gene expression. But the measurement approaches described above can be used to extract stiffness value in different models wherever an elastic element is included. The viscoelastic model examines the time-dependent response of the biomaterials. Both viscoelastic and poroelastic models adopt dual characteristics of solids and fluids. Based on experimental observations, theoretical models depicting elastic, hyperelastic, viscoelastic, and poroelastic behaviors have been established. However, there are a handful of examples where elastic behaviors are dominant. As a result, cells and tissues usually exhibit dual characteristics belonging to both solids and liquids, and cannot be considered purely elastic or purely viscous most of the time. It should be noted that cells and tissues are a mixture of solid substances, consisting of insoluble biomolecules, and liquid, consisting of water and soluble biomolecules. The advances in these techniques have allowed dynamic measurement with high spatial resolution in vitro and in vivo. For local curvature measurement, image modalities such as computational tomography and optical microscopy have been used to acquire images of a region of interests, followed by the image analysis to determine the local curvature value at the desirable length scale. ECM architecture can be surveyed using several imaging modalities, including histological visualization, internal reflectance microscopy, and second harmonic generation. For viscosity measurement, rheometers/viscometers, optical traps and magnetic tweezers are commonly used. For stiffness measurement, methods implementing atomic force microscopy, magnetic tweezers, microfluidics, indentation, and magnetic resonance electrography, are commonly used depending on the length scale of the measurement. ![]() ![]() To study the relation between alterations in stiffness, viscosity, ECM architecture, and curvature, many techniques have been developed to measure those physical parameters of the micro-environment. Fibrosis results in elevated stiffness and altered ECM architecture. For example, during cancer development, increased stiffness, elevated extracellular fluid (ECF) viscosity, altered architecture of fibrillar ECM proteins in stroma and changed curvature are often observed in the micro-environment of solid tumors. During progression of many diseases, micro-environment of affected tissues is altered biochemically and biophysically, leading to changes of values in stiffness, viscosity, curvature, and ECM architecture. The ECM architecture can be characterized by parameters including density, pore size, and orientation of the ECM proteins. ![]() The most biologically relevant parameters of geometry at the molecular, cellular, and tissue scales are curvature and organization of constituent extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Viscosity defines the resistance experienced by an object when moving in an aqueous environment. Stiffness determines how deformable the substrate is where cells reside. The cues include, but not limited to, stiffness, viscosity, and geometry. In other words, mechanosignaling is an integral part of homeostasis, to maintain normal function of cells, and to govern cell fate.Ĭells sense mechanical cues and stimuli from their surrounding micro-environment. However, a vast body of studies in the past two decades laid the foundation of modern mechanobiology, the essence of which is the notion that not restricted to the aforementioned specialized cells, every cell type is equipped with the capacity to sense the mechanical cues and/or stimuli, and to interact with the micro-environment by generating mechanical forces. ![]() It had been widely known for a long time that specialized cells, such as sensory neurons of touch and hair cells in the ear can sense and respond to mechanical inputs from the environment and that another set of specialized cells, such as skeletal muscle cells, cardiomyocytes, and smooth muscle cells, are capable of generating mechanical forces.

Vincent and a Naga pepper from Pakistan to create Smokin Ed’s Carolina Reaper - “a tidal wave of scorching fire,” as the PuckerButt website puts it. He said he tested hundreds of hybrid combinations before finally crossing a “really nastily hot” La Soufriere pepper from the Caribbean island of St. It took 12 years of crossbreeding for Currie to reach the pinnacle of the pepper world. Some products are made from the Reaper, whose off-label uses include “settling old scores,” Currie said. The 8-year-old company sells salsa, hot sauce, chile seeds as well as chile jellies, chocolates, peanut brittle and brownies to customers worldwide.Īmong the more popular sauces: Edible Lava, Ben’s Smokin’ Hot Razz Booty, I Dare You Stupit. Two years ago, he opened a storefront location on Main Street in downtown Fort Mill.Ī year before his pepper set the record, Currie quit his bank job to concentrate full time on PuckerButt, named after his wife’s description of the effects of eating his salsa. She later persuaded him to sell his salsas rather than give them away to a growing number of friends and neighbors.Ĭurrie opened a small booth at a flea market. That helped Currie woo and wed his wife, who loves salsa. At home, he made salsas and hot sauces from peppers he grew in his yard. ![]() In 2001, he moved to South Carolina and began working as a bank trust officer. “I wanted to keep on partying.”Ĭurrie has been clean and sober for nearly 16 years after completing a substance abuse recovery program in Michigan, he said. “I wanted to find out how not to die,” he said. He began crossbreeding peppers after reading scientific papers suggesting that their chemical compounds might reduce the risk of heart attacks and cancer, two diseases that run in his family, Currie said. “All you do is follow the scientific method.” ![]() “Anybody can do it,” he said of crossbreeding plants. While boozing and drugging his way through several colleges, he said, he parlayed his self-taught crossbreeding skills into producing potent marijuana plants. “My interest in chemistry years ago was drug-related, but it led me to peppers,” he said. ![]() He resembles the rumpled character actor Paul Giamatti and could probably play a mad scientist in a movie. He read library books about plants and pored over horticulture magazines ordered by his mother, a master gardener.Ĭurrie, stocky and bearded, is a frenetic talker. Currie, 51, has been fascinated with crossbreeding plants since he was a boy in Michigan.

Total material cost factoring these other items can be in the $15-30 per square foot range and that’s before installation. Keep in mind there will additional costs for substructure, railing, etc. This TimberTech vs Trex is therefor a tie. Our own scratching test, found the Trex to be a bit better. In the samples we tested, we found the Trex (specifically the Transcend line which is their high-end line) to be more scratch resistant than the TimberTech AZEK line.įloor Critics Winner: Tie While the test result was clearly in favor of TimberTech, we remain impartial as the test was sponsored by TimberTech themselves. The results of the test found that Trex decking boards showed 7 times more fading than TimberTech boards. They compared the TimberTech vs Trex line of decking products and measured derating. The test ran for a total of 2,150 hours in a Weather-Ometer that had an 8 hour UV radiation cycle followed by 4 hours of darkness. TimberTech had a third party run a fade comparison test that measured color change over time and fade resistance. Furthermore, we are not sure why Trex offers the same warranty for all three tiers of their decking products. On their highest quality product, their warranty is 2x that of Trex.
