J. Differ. Equations 248, No. 9, 2263-2274 (2010).

Summary: This work establishes two regularity criteria for the 3D incompressible MHD equations. The first one is in terms of the derivative of the velocity field in one direction while the second one requires suitable boundedness of the derivative of the pressure in one direction.
