The protein cost of metabolic fluxes: prediction from enzymatic rate laws and cost minimization
, 2016 Bacterial growth depends crucially on metabolic fluxes, which are limited by the cell's capacity to maintain metabolic enzymes. The necessary enzyme amount per unit flux is a major determinant of metabolic strategies both in evolution and bioengineering.

A Fully Soft and Passive Assistive Device to Lower the Metabolic Cost of Sit-to-Stand
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 Various assistive devices like exoskeletons have been developed to aid the growing number of disabled people. Recent studies have started to explore using soft rather than rigid components to create lightweight and unobtrusive systems that can be more ...

Within and between-day reliability of energetic cost measures during treadmill walking
Cogent Engineering, 2016 The efficacy of assistive devices used during walking is often measured as a reduction in metabolic cost. Metabolic cost is typically assessed within a day or on multiple days, yet the benefit of performing within-day vs.
