Dynamic MR imaging of the skeletal muscle in young and senior volunteers during minimal synchronized neuromuscular electrical stimulation [PDF]
, 2020 $\textbf{Object}$ Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES)-induced isometric contraction is feasible during MRI and can be combined with acquisition of volumetric dynamic MR data, in a synchronous and controlled way. Since NMES is a potent resource for rehabilitation, MRI synchronized with NMES presents a valuable validation tool.

Quantitative Ultrasound to Assess Skeletal Muscles in Post Stroke Spasticity
Journal of Central Nervous System Disease, 2021 Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) techniques such as pixel intensity, ultrasound strain, and shear wave elastography have made it possible to identify the echogenicity (brightness) and mechanical properties (stiffness) of normal and pathological tissues ...

In Vivo Time- Resolved Microtomography Reveals the Mechanics of the Blowfly Flight Motor [PDF]
, 2014 Dipteran flies are amongst the smallest and most agile of flying animals. Their wings are driven indirectly by large power muscles, which cause cyclical deformations of the thorax that are amplified through the intricate wing hinge.

Stretching graphene using polymeric micro-muscles [PDF]
Colangelo F. et al., 2D Materials, 5 045032 (2018), 2017 The control of strain in two-dimensional materials opens exciting perspectives for the engineering of their electronic properties. While this expectation has been validated by artificial-lattice studies, it remains elusive in the case of atomic lattices.

A pilot study to measure dynamic elasticity of the bladder during urodynamics [PDF]
, 2017 AIMS: Previous studies using isolated strips of human detrusor muscle identified adjustable preload tension, a novel mechanism that acutely regulates detrusor wall tension. The purpose of this investigation was to develop a method to identify a correlate

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...
