A Soft Robotic Device for Targeted Massage Therapy of Residual Limbs
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Residual limb edema after amputation can hinder recovery and delay prosthetic fitting. This study presents a soft‐robotic wearable device that delivers sequential compression through pneumatic McKibben actuators. By replicating the principles of manual lymphatic drainage, the device generates controlled mechanotherapeutic pressure patterns, providing a

Deformability and Microcirculatory Flow of Red Blood Cells in Newborn Infants [PDF]
, 1989 Deformability of red blood cells is defined as their ability to deform (ie; to assume new shapes) in response to forces applied on the cell. This is essential for effective blood flow, particularly in the microcirculation, where red blood cells of about ...

Cross‐Scale Hierarchical Targeted Delivery System Based on Small‐Scale Magnetic Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This article reviews a cross‐scale hierarchical targeted delivery system that integrates magnetic continuum robots and magnetic microrobots. By combining rapid long‐range navigation with precise microscale targeting, the system overcomes key limitations of single‐scale approaches.

An assessment of red cell deformability using a simple filtration method
, 1979 We assessed the simple method of measuring red cell deformability described by Reid et al. The technique was found to be reproducible. The validity of the method as a measure of red cell deformation was confirmed by (a) marked reduction of the ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Our study reveals the protective role of GPR124 in maintaining BBB integrity and promoting neurological recovery following TBI. It makes a significant contribution by uncovering a novel molecular interaction between GPR124 and FGFBP1 and linking this to activation of the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway in vascular repair mechanisms.
