Jointless Tongue‐Like Bioactuator for Multidirectional Motion Through Directional Electrical Stimulation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A tongue‐like bioactuator is developed using orthogonally aligned cultured skeletal muscle tissues. By applying directional electrical stimulation of varying strengths, the actuator achieves jointless, multidirectional movements. The device features a fully soft, skeleton‐free design, enabling biomimetic deformation and functional actuation, and offers

Electrothermally Controlled 3D‐Printed Shape Memory Polymers for Near‐Ambient Temperature Soft Robotic Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
In this article, we develop bespoke resins for stereolithography 3D‐printing of soft‐robotic grippers that are controlled remotely by electrothermal stimulus near ambient temperatures. Turning on the electrical control, each finger can be actuated separately.

SkelPy: A graphic user interface–based approach for skeletonizing fungal networks

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Traditional methods to quantify mycelial growth rely on destructive sampling to quantify biomass. Moreover, these approaches limit continuous observation and require a sufficient mass to measure. Recent work examines hyphal network traits by reconstructing the hyphal network from spatial coordinates via images, providing information ...

Statistical shape modeling of the human inner ear through micro‐computed tomography imaging

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
In this study, 54 cadaveric temporal bone specimens underwent high‐resolution micro‐CT imaging. Images were semi‐automatically segmented and converted to 3D surface mesh models for morphological measurement and analysis. Statistical shape models were created for the inner ear, cochlea, and vestibular system, as well as for sex‐ and side‐based subgroups.

Ontogeny of murine bony semicircular canal form

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The labyrinthine geometry and functional anatomy of the semicircular canals have intrigued scientists for decades, and there has been considerable interest in understanding how these complex structures grow and develop with evidence emerging from human studies that size maturation occurs exceptionally early by comparison with other systems ...

Multi‐method analysis for the three‐dimensional reconstruction of muscle fascicles from DiceCT datasets

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle architecture is a major determinant of muscle performance and, in mammalian lineages, has been correlated with both feeding ecology and locomotor behaviors. Over the past decade, contrast‐enhanced micro‐CT (DiceCT) has emerged as an alternative to traditional dissection‐based measurement.
