Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Farmers frequently suffer from musculoskeletal disorders, particularly lower back pain (LBP), mainly due to occupational ergonomic factors such as repetitive stooping and lifting. This study proposes using an exoskeleton to reduce LBP risk by providing external torque to the hip joints.

Complex Mechanical Loading and Pro‐Inflammatory Cytokines in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration [PDF]
JOR SpineThis study investigated the combined effects of dynamic compression and torsion with major pro‐catabolic cytokine interleukin‐1 beta (IL‐1β) and its inhibitor: interleukin‐1 receptor antagonist (IL‐1Ra), on bovine IVD in an ex vivo organ culture system and further evaluated the mechanical effects using a subject‐personalized finite element model based ...

Emerging Triboelectric Nanogenerators for In‐Body Implantation
Small Methods, EarlyView.This review explores functional implantable triboelectric nanogenerators in biomedical applications, discussing their mechanisms, electricity generation, and design approaches. To solve postimplantation challenges, four types of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are introduced: stretchable, bioadhesive, on‐demand biodegradable, and multiresponsive ...

Mechanosensitive Cell‐Laden Shape‐Memory Scaffolds Engineered via Cryogelation
Small Structures, EarlyView.GelMA‐based shape‐memory scaffolds encapsulating human adipose‐derived stem cells are fabricated via cryogelation, showing rapid recovery and high cell viability. Under cyclic compression, they promoted mechanotransduction gene expression, and composite formulations (collagen/GelMA, dECM/GelMA) retained robust shape‐memory, highlighting their promise ...

Novel approaches for drug development against chronic primary pain: A systematic review
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Chronic primary pain (CPP) persisting for more than 3 months, associated with significant emotional distress without any known underlying cause, is an unmet medical need. Traditional or adjuvant analgesics do not provide satisfactory pain relief for a great proportion of these patients.

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Chronic pain, marked by nociceptive sensitization and maladaptive neuroplasticity, affects 30% of the global population with escalating socioeconomic burdens. Epidemiological data show a 2‐3‐fold increase in neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities among individuals with chronic pain, where epigenetic dysregulation serves as a key mechanism linking ...
