The non-invasive evaluation technique of patellofemoral joint stress: a systematic literature review

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Introduction: Patellofemoral joint stress (PFJS) is an important parameter for understanding the mechanism of patellofemoral joint pain, preventing patellofemoral joint injury, and evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of PFP rehabilitation programs.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Relationship between joint angle and contact force at the knee during normal gait

Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing
Knee joint contact force is related to knee joint pain and related diseases such as osteoarthritis. Joint loading during gait even on an intact knee may cumulatively lead to the joint diseases. Previous studies on forward dynamics simulation suggest that

The Impact of Hill-Type Actuator Components on the Performance of Reinforcement Learning Controllers to Reverse Upper-Limb Paralysis

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) may allow people who are paralyzed due to spinal cord injuries (SCIs) to regain the ability to move. Deep neural networks (DNNs) trained with reinforcement learning (RL) have been recently explored as a promising ...

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Prevalence of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in Australia, 2010–2022: A Population‐Based Study Using Linked National Administrative Health Data

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogenous inflammatory condition with widely varying global prevalence estimates. The frequency of SLE in the general population of Australia has been reported to be notably lower than contemporary estimates in countries such as the United States or United Kingdom, at 19 to 39 per 100,000 as opposed ...
