Evaluation of the efficacy of a novel lumbar exoskeleton with multiple interventions for patients with lumbar disc herniation: a multicenter randomized controlled trial of non-inferiority

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
BackgroundLumbar disc herniation (LDH) occurs when the nucleus pulposus or annulus fibrosus protrudes into the intervertebral space, potentially compressing nerve roots and causing symptoms such as sciatica, restricted mobility, and lower extremity ...

Scalable Wheat Bran‐Algae Composites for Edible Electronics with Spray‐Coated Food‐Grade Conductive Inks

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A fully edible wheat bran–algae substrate is fabricated through scalable mould‐compression and spray‐coating, enabling robust, food‐grade platforms for sustainable electronics. A chitosan barrier improves water resistance and ink compatibility, while activated‐carbon conductive films form uniform electrodes with Ohmic behaviour.
