An RNA interference biopesticide reduces reproduction of the honey bee parasite Varroa destructor by down‐regulating embryo development pathways

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2694-2707, March 2026.
Varroa destructor mites exposed to dsRNA specific in sequence to a V. destructor calmodulin gene significantly effected gene expression of adult female mites sampled 5 days after entering a honey bee brood cell to reproduce. Significantly down‐regulated genes included Calmodulin and were associated with calcium ion binding and embryo developmental ...

Development of a Grasshopper‐Leg‐Inspired Back‐Type Exoskeleton for the Reduction of Muscle Activation During Stoop Activities

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 2, Page 739-760, March 2026.
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.

Adaptive Fuzzy PID Control of Two‐DOF Pneumatic Artificial Muscle Manipulators for Leg Rehabilitation

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Two‐degree‐of‐freedom manipulator driven by PAM. ABSTRACT Rehabilitation robots are machines that allow patients to perform practice movements and ought to be sufficiently compliant for safe human interaction. Most robots today use hydraulic systems and continually rotating servo motors, making them less suitable for rehabilitation.

Mapping the Causal Roles of Non‐Primary Motor Areas in Human Reach Planning and Execution

Human Brain Mapping, Volume 47, Issue 2, February 1, 2026.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to the contralateral premotor and parietal cortex altered reaching performance, indicating their role in early movement planning. Among ipsilateral targets, only the dorsal premotor cortex showed consistent effects, which were predicted by resting‐state connectivity.

Mechanism Design of a Novel Device to Facilitate Mobility, Sit-to-Stand Transfer Movement, and Walking Assistance

Machines
To assist patients with lower limb dysfunction in mobility, standing, and walking, this paper proposes a novel device that integrates the functions of lower limb exoskeleton, wheelchair, and sit-to-stand (STS) transfer assistance. We designed a 10-degree-
