Mechanical Properties and Toughening Mechanisms of SiC(w)/ZrO2 (6% mol Y2O3) Ceramic Composites. (1998)

Zhou, Yu, Zhu, Wei-Zhong, Lei, Ting-Chuan

Microstructure, mechanical properties and toughening mechanisms of hot pressed SiC(w)/ZrO2 (6% mol Y2O3) ceramic composites were investigated by means of XRD, SEM, TEM and EPMA. The results show that...

Dual modulation of cell survival and cell death by β2-adrenergic signaling in adult mouse cardiac myocytes

Zhu, Wei-Zhong, Zheng, Ming, Koch, Walter J., Lefkowitz, Robert J., Kobilka, Brian K., Xiao, Rui-Ping

The goal of this study was to determine whether β1-adrenergic receptor (AR) and β2-AR differ in regulating cardiomyocyte survival and apoptosis and, if so, to explore underlying mechanisms. One...

Linkage of β1-adrenergic stimulation to apoptotic heart cell death through protein kinase A–independent activation of Ca2+/calmodulin kinase II

Zhu, Wei-Zhong, Wang, Shi-Qiang, Chakir, Khalid, Yang, Dongmei, Zhang, Tong, Brown, Joan Heller, ...

β1-adrenergic receptor (β1AR) stimulation activates the classic cAMP/protein kinase A (PKA) pathway to regulate vital cellular processes from the change of gene expression to the control of...

Local Control of Excitation-Contraction Coupling in Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes

Zhu, Wei-Zhong, Santana, Luis F., Laflamme, Michael A.

We investigated the mechanisms of excitation-contraction (EC) coupling in human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hESC-CMs) and fetal ventricular myocytes (hFVMs) using patch-clamp...
