A Proof‐of‐Concept Assessment of a Novel Wearable Eyelid Muscle Device: A Pre‐Clinical Animal Cadaver Study for Eyelid Closure Restoration

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces a soft wearable eyelid sling device incorporating a hydraulic soft artificial muscle (SAM) for achieving complete closure of an eyelid. The SAM is driven by a cam mechanism that provides a displacement profile closely matched with those of a healthy eyelid.

Identification of long noncoding RNAs in injury-resilient and injury-susceptible mouse retinal ganglion cells

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background Emerging evidence indicates that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulators of various biological processes, and their expression can be altered following certain pathological conditions, including central nervous system injury ...

Exploring Functionally Enhanced BLP‐Trained Macrophage Subpopulations in S. Aureus Infection: Underlying Mechanisms and Therapeutic Significance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
BLP‐trained macrophages show augmented resistance to infection, but their mechanisms remain unclear. scRNA‐seq identified 13 BMDM subsets, with two novel anti‐inflammatory/antibacterial subpopulations (C5/C7) emerging post‐BLP training. BLP training activates NRF2, attenuates oxidative stress/ferroptosis, and boosts glycolysis/OXPHOS. Adoptive transfer

Hematogenous macrophage depletion reduces the fibrotic scar and increases axonal growth after spinal cord injury

Neurobiology of Disease, 2015
Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to formation of a fibrotic scar that is inhibitory to axon regeneration. Recent evidence indicates that the fibrotic scar is formed by perivascular fibroblasts, but the mechanism by which they are recruited to the injury ...

Tissue‐Resident Macrophage‐Derived E3 Ligase SMURF2 Restricts Autoimmune Inflammation by Mediating the Degradation of p‐TBK1

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dysregulated Tissue resident macrophage (TRMs) link to autoimmune inflammation. SMURF2 mediates Lys‐27 (K27)‐linked ubiquitination of p‐TBK1 and its degradation, which inhibits CSF1R signaling‐triggered TRM proliferation, thereby restraining the autoimmune inflammation.

Altered Differentiation of Cns Neural Progenitor Cells after Transplantation into the Injured Adult Rat Spinal Cord

Cell Transplantation, 1997
Denervation of CNS neurons and peripheral organs is a consequence of traumatic SCI. Intraspinal transplantation of embryonic CNS neurons is a potential strategy for reinnervating these targets.

Tie2‐Dependent Mechanisms Influence Leptomeningeal Collateral Dynamics and Reperfusion Following Stroke

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates that endothelial EphA4 limits Tie2 activation and curbs leptomeningeal collateral expansion after ischemic stroke. Pharmacological activation of Tie2 by an Ang‐1 mimetic or genetic loss of EphA4 stimulates collateral vessel growth, improves cerebral perfusion, and enhances neurological recovery.
