Musculoskeletal and physiological responses to vortex wave stimulation in older adults

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 17, Page 7264-7286, 1 September 2026.
Abstract figure legend We explored the acute physiological effects of a novel mechanical stimulus, vortex wave stimulation (VWS), in healthy older adults. Using deuterated water and serial skeletal muscle biopsies, we showed that VWS elevated integrated rates of myofibrillar, but not sarcoplasmic muscle protein synthesis, with no changes observed in ...

Texoskeletons: Developing the Fundamental Technologies for Creating Intelligent Soft Robotic Clothing With Integrated 1D Sensors and Actuators

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 60, 27 July 2026.
ABSTRACT Traditional wearable exoskeletons rely on rigid structures, which limit comfort, flexibility, and everyday usability. This work introduces the fundamental technologies to create the first soft, lightweight, intelligent textile‐based exoskeletons (Texoskeletons) built using 1D sensors and actuators.

Bio‐templated Piezoresistive Yarn for High Sensitivity Movement Monitoring Textiles

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 31, 4 June 2026.
This study developed a conductive coating by biotemplating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) onto a Potato virus A (PV) particle network, cross‐linked on co‐polyamide‐starch (CoPA‐SS) coils. The combination of CoPA‐SS's shape memory and PV‐AgNP's piezoresistivity achieved high strain sensitivity and minimal hysteresis.
