Smartphone-Derived Movement Analysis for Musculoskeletal Assessment: Smartphone-Estimated Relative Vertical Power During the Sit-to-Stand Test as an Accessible Predictor of Knee Extensor Strength in Older Adults

Medicina
Background and Objectives: Assessing knee extensor (KE) strength is important for detecting muscle weakness in older adults, yet dynamometry is often impractical in community settings.

Decellularized Extracellular Matrix (dECM) in Tendon Regeneration: A Comprehensive Review

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Decellularized Extracellular Matrix (dECM) offers a promising solution by replicating the native tendon microenvironment and promoting regeneration. This review highlights advances in the decellularization methods, as well as their integration with emerging technologies and translational progress in tendon tissue engineering.

Design and Synthesis of Peptide‐Polyester Conjugates for Cell‐Mediated Scaffold Degradation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work describes polycaprolactone (PCL)‐based biomaterials engineered to degrade in response to cell‐secreted proteases. A fast‐degrading peptide (Fast) sequence is integrated into a PCL conjugate backbone to produce a biomaterial that is selectively degraded by multiple cell types compared to its scrambled control (ScrFast).

A Systematic Study of GelMA‐Carbopol Bioinks for High‐Fidelity Extrusion 3D Bioprinting at Physiological Temperatures

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Gonzalez Martinez and collaborators develop a strategy to formulate high performance GelMA‐based bioinks with low solids contents. The resulting bioinks enable 3D bioprinting at 37 °C of high‐fidelity structures with tunable mechanical properties that support high cell viability and function.

Microsphere‐Templated Conductive Syntactic Foams for Recyclable and Additively Manufactured Soft Electronics

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a microsphere‐templated strategy to fabricate reprocessable PEDOT:PSS syntactic foams with tunable porosity, stable conductivity, and 3D printability. In situ PEDOT:PSS coatings create a conductive network that maintains electrical performance at high void fractions.

Cut‐Off Points for Low Relative 30‐s Sit‐to‐Stand Power and Their Associations With Adverse Health Conditions

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Background Despite muscle power derived from the 5‐rep sit‐to‐stand (STS) test having been demonstrated to be a valuable biomarker in older individuals, there is limited information regarding muscle power derived from the 30‐s STS test, a widely used ...

An evaluation of gastrocnemius muscle structure and function in endurance runners and low physical activity individuals

, 2013
Includes abstract.Includes bibliographical references.Distance running has become increasingly popular in recreational runners. The gastrocnemius is the main muscle used for propulsion in running, and may be at risk for injury due to its morphology.
