Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of 2-Hydroxy-3-[(2-aryloxyethyl)amino]propyl 4-[(Alkoxycarbonyl)amino]benzoates by Jan Tengler, Iva Kapustíková, Matúš Peško, Rodney Govender, Stanislava Keltošová, Petr Mokrý, Peter Kollár, Jim O'Mahony, Aidan Coffey, Katarína Král'ová, Josef Jampílek

“…Compounds with predicted amphiphilic properties were also tested for their effects on the rate of photosynthetic electron transport (PET) in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts. All butyl derivatives significantly stimulated the rate of PET, indicating that the compounds can induce conformational changes in thylakoid membranes resulting in an increase of their permeability and so causing uncoupling of phosphorylation from electron transport.…”

Residual force enhancement decreases when scaling from the single muscle fiber to joint level in humans by Avery Hinks, Kaitlyn B.E. Jacob, Makenna A. Patterson, Benjamin E. Dalton, Geoffrey A. Power

“…Background: Residual force enhancement (rFE), defined as increased isometric force following active lengthening compared to a fixed-end isometric contraction at the same muscle length and level of activation, is present across all scales of muscle. While rFE is always present at the cellular level, often rFE “non-responders” are observed during joint-level voluntary contractions. …”
