Perceived Time Shapes Physical Fatigue Accumulation and Its Neural Oscillatory Correlates. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Can a clock change the course of physical fatigue? By covertly manipulating the clock calibration during repeated isometric contractions, we showed that perceived time shapes fatigue accumulation and frontal oscillatory dynamics. While fatigue accumulation was only reduced when the clock was slowed down, frontal oscillatory dynamics followed perceived ...

An Epigenetic Fate Converter Based on Nuclei‐Targeting Lipid Nanoparticles Drives Neuronal Programming of Stem Cells for Spinal Cord Repair

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of LNP‐MPG nuclei‐targeting delivery of HMW‐FGF2 promoting histone acetylation to regulate the fate of DPSCs and treat spinal cord injury. LNPs components include pHMW‐FGF2 plasmid, DSPC, Dlin‐MC3‐DMA, cholesterol, and PEG2000, and are modified with MPG to form HMW‐FGF2@LNP‐MPG (HLM). HLM nuclei‐targets DPSCs to deliver HMW‐FGF2,

Osseoperceptive EMG Feedback Improves Grasp Force Control in Myoelectric Prosthetic Hands. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Osseoperception is explored as a non‐invasive pathway for delivering sensory feedback in myoelectric prosthetic control. By encoding the user's electromyographic (EMG) signal through bone‐conducted stimulation, this approach enables predictive grasp force regulation.

Analog Classification of Human Hand Gestures Exploiting Dendritic Integration With an Organic Artificial Soma

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An organic neuromorphic architecture for the classification of human motor behavior is presented and validated. It performs somatic integration by linearly combining the activity from three muscles. An investigation of synaptic weights is presented and discussed in relationship with the classification performance.
