Bioengineering facets of the tumor microenvironment in 3D tumor models: insights into cellular, biophysical and biochemical interactions

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The tumor microenvironment is a dynamic, multifaceted complex system of interdependent cellular, biochemical, and biophysical components. Three‐dimensional in vitro models of the tumor microenvironment enable a better understanding of these interactions and their impact on cancer progression and therapeutic resistance.

Dual-modality Smart Shoes for Quantitative Assessment of Hemiplegic Patients' Lower Limbs' Muscle Strength [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Stroke can lead to the impaired motor ability of the patient's lower limbs and hemiplegia. Accurate assessment of the lower limbs' motor ability is important for diagnosis and rehabilitation. To digitalize such assessment so that each test can be traced back any time and subjectivity can be avoided, we test how dual-modality smart shoes equipped with ...

Relationships between muscle strength and multi-channel surface EMG parameters in eighty-eight elderly

European Review of Aging and Physical Activity, 2018
Background Since age-related muscle strength loss cannot be explained solely by muscle atrophy, other determinants would also contribute to muscle strength in elderly. The present study aimed to clarify contribution of neuromuscular activation pattern to
