Biomechanical mechanisms underlying exosuit-induced improvements in walking economy after stroke [PDF]
, 2018 Stroke-induced hemiparetic gait is characteristically asymmetric and metabolically expensive. Weakness and impaired control of the paretic ankle contribute to reduced forward propulsion and ground clearance—walking subtasks critical for safe and ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study introduces a hybrid robot that integrates mechanical assistance by musculoskeletons (i.e., soft pneumatic muscle with rigid exoskeletal extensions), neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and vibrotactile feedback in a lightweight wearable mechatronic complex applicable to the paretic ankle–foot poststroke for gait restoration. The system can

Zoborg: On‐Demand Climbing Control for Cyborg Beetles
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A novel on‐demand climbing protocol enables Zoborg (a cyborg beetle from the living Zophobas morio) to seamlessly transition from horizontal floors to vertical walls. Multiple unrestrained mechanosensors allow wall sensing while electrical stimulation of the elytron initiates climbing. Leveraging the agile locomotion and exceptional adaptability of the

ATF3 Deficiency Exacerbates Ageing‐Induced Atherosclerosis and Clinical Intervention Strategy
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Targeting ATF3 with terazosin to against VSMC Senescence and atherosclerosis. TZ reduces the binding affinity of YTHDF2 to Atf3 mRNA, while enhancing mRNA stability. ATF3 promotes Atg7 transcription, enhancing autophagy. ATG7 binds to ATF3 in the cytoplasm, facilitating ATF3 translocation to the nucleus and establishing positive feedback. By modulating
