Bioengineered Interfaces for Peripheral Nerve Sensory Restoration

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Half of amputees abandon their prosthetics for lack of feeling. This review charts the full path from peripheral nerve injury to restored sensation, through surgical, regenerative, noninvasive, and implanted approaches, and shows how injury type and interface material properties determine which strategy can deliver naturalistic feedback, and why ...

In-vivo evaluation of vitamin E loaded muscle void fillers for the provisional treatment of volumetric muscle loss

open access: yesBMC Research Notes
Objective This study investigates the therapeutic potential of α-tocopherol (Vitamin E, VitE), delivered locally via a polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogel serving as a muscle void filler (MVF), for the acute treatment of volumetric muscle loss (VML) in a ...

Predictors for Amputation in Patients with Diabetic Foot Wound

open access: yesVascular Specialist International, 2018
Purpose: Diabetic foot wound (DFW) is known as a major contributor of nontraumatic lower extremity amputation. We aimed to evaluate overall amputation rates and risk factors for amputation in patients with DFW. Materials and Methods: From January 2014

Ionic Gating of Liquid‐Crystal‐Like Pteridine Assemblies Enables Tunable Light Scattering

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Tunable optical properties emerge through developmentally regulated ionic gating, which transforms disordered, ultraviolet (UV)‐absorbing organelles into concentrically ordered, liquid‐crystal‐like light scatterers. By integrating analyses of pteridine composition, potassium‐dependent assembly, hierarchical ultrastructure, and optical behavior, the ...

Cerium Nanoparticle‐Mediated Inhibition of the NSUN2/m5C Axis Suppresses Synovial Aggression in Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel epitranscriptomic mechanism in rheumatoid arthritis is uncovered: NSUN2 promotes disease via m5C‐dependent stabilization of ICMT mRNA, fueling the migration and invasion of pathogenic RA FLS. Targeting this axis with engineered nanoparticles (Ce/SAA NPs) effectively inhibits disease progression, presenting a precise therapeutic strategy ...

The musculotendinous interface: insights into development, injury, and recovery for military medical applications

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology
Musculoskeletal injuries (MSKIs) are a major cause of morbidity and lost duty time for military service members, impacting overall military readiness, with overuse injuries being particularly prevalent among them. Musculotendinous injuries, affecting the

Dual‐Functional Silent‐Region SERS Nanoplatform for Real‐Time Bacterial Tracking and Wound Healing Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bacterial wound infections, particularly those caused by Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, are difficult to treat due to biofilm formation, multidrug resistance, and chronic inflammation. Here, we report a multifunctional nanoplatform based on a surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probe that enables simultaneous photodynamic ...

Comparing the mechanical energetics of walking among individuals with unilateral transfemoral limb loss using socket and osseointegrated prosthetic interfaces

open access: yesScientific Reports
Osseointegration (OI), or bone-anchoring, of a prosthesis is a transformative procedure for addressing issues of socket fit among individuals with lower limb loss. Mechanically, the removal of the socket interface substantially alters the transmission of

AI‐Assisted Engineering of Glycyrrhizic Acid/Simvastatin Nanocrystals for Multifunctional Treatment of Bacterial Osteomyelitis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Through AI‐assisted screening from FDA‐approved API to overcome the limitations of bacterial osteomyelitis treatment, glycyrrhizic acid and simvastatin are identified as a multifunctional combination capable of self‐assembling into mechanism‐targeting nanocrystals that effectively neutralize reactive oxygen species, suppress M1 macrophage polarization,
