  • Patent number: 11360010
    Abstract: A low-cost, magnetically-driven device that enables visualization and quantification of dynamic changes in cell behavior during mechanical stretch. Using this device, it was observed that nuclei of mouse embryonic skin fibroblasts underwent rapid but divergent responses to strain magnitude, showing nuclear area increase and chromatin decompaction during 5% (low) strain, but nuclear area decrease and chromatin condensation during 20% (high) strain. Only responses to low strain were dependent on calcium, while actin inhibition abrogated any nuclear response and increased stretch-induced DNA damage. Stretch-activation revealed a shift in actin filaments away from (low strain) or towards (high strain) the nuclear periphery. The findings suggest that different pathways control strain level-dependent cell behavior and that mechanical confinement of nuclei through actin may be a protective mechanism during high strain loads.

  • Patent number: 11302447
    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to simulating mechanisms of injury utilizing an objective impairment injury score risk model. A computing device may receive injury data from a user. The computing device may perform a security action that protects against unauthorized sharing of the injury data by storing the injury data as a group of linked blocks in a distributed computing system. The computing device may utilize a machine-learning model to generate a set of questions for the user. The questions may be utilized to determine weighting factors associated with the injury data. The computing device may utilize the machine-learning model to determine an impairment injury score based on the weighting factors. The computing device may display an injury risk management report to the user. The computing device may display, based at least in part on the report, a simulation describing a mechanism of the injury described in the injury data.
