Elastic softening and fracture in randomly perforated solids
Tero Mäkinen, Alessandro Taloni, Giulio Costantini +3
We study the mechanical response of quasi-brittle polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) specimens containing controlled random distributions of laser-cut holes. Tensile tests combined wit…
Thermodynamic precision of a chain of motors: the difference between phase and noise correlation
Giulio Costantini, Andrea Puglisi
Inspired by recent experiments on fluctuations of the flagellar beating in sperms and C. reinhardtii, we investigate the precision of phase fluctuations in a system of nearest-neig…
Probability distribution functions of sub- and super-diffusive systems
Fabio Cecconi, Giulio Costantini, Alessandro Taloni +1
We study the anomalous transport in systems of random walks (RW's) on comb-like lattices with fractal sidebranches, showing subdiffusion, and in a system of Brownian particles driv…
Size effects in micro and nanoscale materials fracture
Alessandro Taloni, Michele Vodret, Giulio Costantini +1
Micro and nanoscale materials have remarkable mechanical properties, such as enhanced strength and toughness, but usually display sample-to-sample fluctuations and non-trivial size…
Chromatin and cytoskeletal tethering determine nuclear morphology in progerin expressing cells
M. C. Lionetti, S. Bonfanti, M. R. Fumagalli +6
The nuclear morphology of eukaryotic cells is determined by the interplay between the lamina forming the nuclear skeleton, the chromatin inside the nucleus and the coupling with th…
Cholesterol impairment contributes to neuroserpin aggregation
Costanza Giampietro, Maria Chiara Lionetti, Giulio Costantini +3
Intraneural accumulation of misfolded proteins is a common feature of several neurodegenerative pathologies including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, and Familial Encephalopa…
