Stretch signal and muscle state dependence of the tonic stretch reflex
, 2000 When active skeletal muscle is stretched, it generally responds with a contraction which resists the stretch. This response is termed the muscle stretch reflex.

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Although the definition of a gout flare is well established, the state of gout flare resolution has not yet been defined. This study aimed to explore patients’ experiences and perceptions of gout flare resolution. Methods Semistructured interviews were conducted with 24 people with gout, guided by open‐ended questions exploring their ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.DNA strands are employed both as dynamic linkers and nanoscale templates for the integration of Ag2S nanoparticles on MoS2, which in turn imparted photothermal responsiveness; this feature permits the selective cargo (fluorophore, quantum dots or an enzyme) release from the MoS2 surface in response to local heat induced by light irradiation.

Spasticity mechanisms - for the clinician
Frontiers in Neurology, 2010 Spasticity, a classical clinical manifestation of an upper motor neuron lesion, has been traditionally and physiologically defined as a velocity dependent increase in muscle tone caused by the increased excitability of the muscle stretch reflex ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study presents a bioengineered assembloid (ASM) system combining glioblastoma (GBM) cells in oxidized alginate (OA) microgels with dorsal organoids (DOs). This model simulates brain tumor‐host interactions, revealing enhanced GBM invasion, altered gene expression, and aggressive infiltration patterns, demonstrating ASM as a valuable platform for ...

Modeling of Stretch Reflex Activation Considering Muscle Type
, 2018 Although the stretch reflex plays an important role in spasticity, so far the stretch reflex has not been sufficiently investigated. Previous stretch reflex activation models have some limitations, whereby they are not able to predict outcomes of some ...

Features and Physiology of Spinal Stretch Reflex Pathways in People with Chronic Spinal Cord Injury
, 2022 In spastic individuals with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI), the stretch reflex gain and reflex stiffness are high at rest and do not decrease with muscle activation.
