Optimal Proportion of Similar Materials and Rockburst Tendency of White Sandstone by Chaoyi Ma, Zhengguo Zhu, Zhichun Fang, Zhaobin Li, Liu Liu

“…By judging the rockburst propensity and verifying the index, it is concluded that the similar materials can effectively simulate the characteristics of white sandstone, which is an ideal similar material of rockburst, and they all show strong rockburst propensity. The rock specimens with optimal proportions were produced, and the internal energy changes and rockburst mechanisms of the model at different temperatures were discussed. …”

Diacylglycerol kinase δ is required for skeletal muscle development and regeneration by Hiromichi Sakai, Chiaki Murakami, Mayumi Takechi, Takeshi Urano, Fumio Sakane

“…Notably, skeletal muscle injury induced by a cardiotoxin highly up‐regulated DGKδ protein expression, and the DGKδ deficiency significantly reduced the thickness of myofibers, the expression levels of myogenic differentiation markers such as embryonic myosin heavy chain and myogenin, and the number of newly formed myofibers containing multiple central nuclei during muscle regeneration. DGKδ was strongly expressed in myogenin‐positive satellite cells around the injured myofibers and centronucleated myofibers. …”
