4D Bioprinted Self‐Folding Scaffolds Enhance Cartilage Formation in the Engineering of Trachea
A bilayer self‐folding scaffold, triggerable by humidity, is fabricated via 4D bioprinting for trachea engineering. An analytical model is derived to predict its radius of curvature, enabling its scalability. Cartilage progenitor cells seeded on the scaffold perceive scaffold final curvature and react to it, by enhancing the upregulation of pro ...

Reducing Personalization Time and Energy Cost While Walking Outdoors with a Portable Exosuit
Rapid Real‐World Optimization! An AF‐based human‐in‐the‐loop optimization strategy rapidly personalizes a portable hip extension exosuit for incline walking. Real‐time Bayesian optimization of assistive force significantly reduces metabolic energy—up to 16.2%—while converging in just 3 min 24 s.

Static stretch versus Mulligan Concept – long-term effects in gymnast’s flexibility
Flexibility is one of the most important physical aspects in Rhythmic Gymnastics (RG). The purpose of the study was to compare long-term changes in flexibility of hip extension in athletes of RG in function of two techniques: the static stretch and ...

Zoborg: On‐Demand Climbing Control for Cyborg Beetles
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

Evaluation of functional outcome and patient satisfaction after arthroscopic elbow arthrolysis [PDF]
Arthroscopic arthrolysis is indicated for stiffness and pain caused by intrinsic stiffness and early arthritis of the elbow joint. Previous studies have demonstrated the benefits in relieving pain and improving motion, but none have reported the ...

A Wearable AI‐Driven Mask with Humidity‐Sensing Respiratory Microphone for Non‐Vocal Communication
A wearable, plug‐and‐play respiratory microphone—featuring a gold nanoparticle‐based humidity sensor—facilitates voice‐free verbal communication for patients with impaired vocal fold function. Abstract Hoarseness and dysphonia caused by vocal cord conditions or laryngeal surgeries significantly hinder communication and quality of life.
