Progressive thinning of visual motion area in lower limb amputees

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016
Accumulating evidence has indicated that amputation or deafferentation of a limb induces functional or structural reorganization in the visual areas. However, the extent of the visual areas involved after lower limb amputation remains uncertain.

Osseoperceptive EMG Feedback Improves Grasp Force Control in Myoelectric Prosthetic Hands

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
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.

Macrophage Dab1 Links Early Hypoxia to Adaptive Angiogenesis to Drive Peripheral Nerve Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram illustrating the Dab1‐linked hypoxia signaling pathway that accelerates angiogenesis and consequent nerve regeneration. Following PNI, a hypoxic microenvironment develops. Hypoxia induces macrophage Dab1 phosphorylation, resulting in NHE‐1 upregulation, HIF‐1α stabilization, and VEGF‐A expression. This cascade promotes angiogenesis in

ALDH2 Deficiency Promotes Mitochondrial Oxidative Stress and Adverse Limb Outcomes via VDAC–HSP60 Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ALDH2 deficiency promotes 4‐HNE accumulation, resulting in covalent modification of HSP60, disruption of its oligomeric assembly, and VDAC1‐dependent release of HSP60 from mitochondria to the cytosol. Pharmacological activation of ALDH2 preserves HSP60 proteostasis and mitochondrial integrity, whereas the clinical association between the ALDH2 rs671 ...
