Edible Pneumatic Battery for Sustained and Repeated Robot Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents an edible energy source and valve system to power soft, pneumatically driven edible robots. A chemical reaction between sodium bicarbonate and citric acid generates carbon dioxide gas, and a pressure‐triggered edible valve enables self‐repetitive motion of the edible actuator.

Assessment of muscle wasting

open access: yes, 2015
Cachexia occurs commonly and is a significant cause of morbidity and up to 20% mortality in patients with cancer. Loss of muscle mass occurs as part of the cachexia wasting process and low muscle mass is a key element of the most recent consensus cachexia definition.
