A High-Quality and Robust Intravascular Electromyography (iEMG) Acquisition Method for Locomotor Tasks

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
Electromyography (EMG) is essential in medical and rehabilitation fields for assessing neuromuscular functions. However, mainstream traditional surface EMG (sEMG) is susceptible to electrode displacement or noise interference during walking, leading to ...

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

A wearable repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation device

Nature Communications
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is widely used to treat various neuropsychiatric disorders and to explore the brain, but its considerable power consumption and large size limit its potential for broader utility, such as applications ...

Brain Computer Interface on Track to Home [PDF]

The Scientific World Journal, 2015
The novel BackHome system offers individuals with disabilities a range of useful services available via brain‐computer interfaces (BCIs), to help restore their independence. This is the time such technology is ready to be deployed in the real world, that is, at the target end users’ home.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Low-power differencing feature extracts spiking-band activities for high-performance intracortical brain-computer interfaces

Communications Biology
Intracortical brain-computer interfaces (iBCIs) demand computationally efficient feature extraction methods to process high-bandwidth neural signals in resource-constrained implantable systems.

How Electroencephalogram Reference Influences the Movement Readiness Potential?

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2017
Readiness potential (RP) based on electroencephalograms (EEG) has been studied extensively in recent years, but no studies have investigated the influence of the reference electrode on RP.

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

The ethics of brain–computer interfaces [PDF]

Nature, 2019
As technologies that integrate the brain with computers become more complex, so too do the ethical issues that surround their use. As technologies that integrate the brain with computers become more complex, so too do the ethical issues that surround their use.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
