Mechanism of seismic-collapsed loess landslides induced by the Ms6.2 earthquake in Jishishan County, Gansu Province, China by Yali Wang, Ping Wang, Guofu Luo, Shaofeng Chai, Wenguo Ma, Chenyang Ye, Shiyang Xu, Haoran Yu

“…To investigate its disaster-causing mechanism: the dynamic triaxial test was conducted to assess the seismic subsidence potential of the loess at the site, and the maximum subsidence amount under different seismic loads were calculated by combining actual data from nearby bedrock stations with site amplification data from the active source; simulation of the destabilization evolution of seismic-collapsed loess landslides by large-scale shaking table tests; and a three-dimensional slope model was developed using finite element method to study the complex seismic conditions responsible for site damage. The research findings provide a theoretical foundation for further investigations into the disaster mechanisms of seismic-collapsed loess landslides.…”

Osteopontin Expression in the Brain Triggers Localized Inflammation and Cell Death When Immune Cells Are Activated by Pertussis Toxin by Maria Cecilia Garibaldi Marcondes, Ryan Ojakian, Nikki Bortell, Claudia Flynn, Bruno Conti, Howard S. Fox

“…However, the role of OPN in inflammation is still controversial, since it can both prevent cell death and induce the migration of potentially damaging inflammatory cells. To understand the role of OPN in inflammation and cell survival, we expressed OPN, utilizing an adenoviral vector, in the caudoputamen of mice deficient in OPN, using beta-galactosidase- (β-gal-) expressing vector as control. …”
