Data-Driven Dynamic Motion Planning for Practical FES-Controlled Reaching Motions in Spinal Cord Injury

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a promising technology for restoring reaching motions to individuals with upper-limb paralysis caused by a spinal cord injury (SCI).

Generation of a whole-brain hemodynamic response function and sex-specific differences in cerebral processing of mechano-sensation in mice detected by BOLD fMRI

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
BOLD fMRI has become a prevalent method to study cerebral sensory processing in rodent disease models, including pain and mechanical hypersensitivity. fMRI data analysis is frequently combined with a general-linear-model (GLM) -based analysis, which uses

Bursa-Derived Cells Show a Distinct Mechano-Response to Physiological and Pathological Loading in vitro

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
The mechano-response of highly loaded tissues such as bones or tendons is well investigated, but knowledge regarding the mechano-responsiveness of adjacent tissues such as the subacromial bursa is missing.

Influence of Diameter and Cyclic Mechanical Stimulation on the Beating Frequency of Myocardial Cell-Laden Fibers

open access: yesGels, 2023
Atrioventricular block (AVB) is a severe disease for pediatric patients. The repetitive operations needed in the case of the pacemaker implantation to maintain the electrical signal at the atrioventricular node (AVN) affect the patient’s life quality. In

Effect of Uniaxial Compression Frequency on Osteogenic Cell Responses in Dynamic 3D Cultures

open access: yesBioengineering, 2023
The application of mechanical stimulation on bone tissue engineering constructs aims to mimic the native dynamic nature of bone. Although many attempts have been made to evaluate the effect of applied mechanical stimuli on osteogenic differentiation, the

Thigmotropic responses of Oryza sativa L. to external rubbing stimulation [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Biological Sciences, 2018
Our aim was to study the morphological and physiological responses of rice to rubbing stimulation. Rice was subjected to rubbing 30 times/day (R30), 60 times/day (R60), 90 times/day (R90) and 0 times/day (control) for 35 days.

Cataract Progression Associated with Modifications in Calcium Signaling in Human Lens Epithelia as Studied by Mechanical Stimulation

open access: yesLife, 2021
Ca2+ homeostasis and signaling disturbances are associated with lens pathophysiology and are involved in cataract formation. Here, we explored the spatiotemporal changes in Ca2+ signaling in lens epithelial cells (LECs) upon local mechanical stimulation,
