Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Magnetogenetic deep brain stimulation (MG‐DBS) represents a wireless neuromodulation that has demonstrated long‐lasting behavioral benefits in Parkinson's disease models. However, the circuit‐level mechanisms underlying these therapeutic effects have remained uncharacterized due to limitations of conventional neural interfaces.

Respiratory Organ‐on‐a‐Chip for Disease Modeling: From Architecture to Functional Integration
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Respiratory organ‐on‐a‐chip (ROC) models capture key mechanical and cellular cues of the human respiratory system, enabling quantitative dissection of disease mechanisms. This review links ROC architectures to disease modeling, functional integration, and commercialization, and proposes a decision framework that aligns model complexity with mechanistic

A nonlinear theory for fibre-reinforced magneto-elastic rods
, 2017 We derive a model for the finite motion of a magneto-elastic rod reinforced with isotropic (spherical) or anisotropic (ellipsoidal) inclusions. The particles are assumed weakly and uniformly magnetised, rigid and firmly embedded into the elastomeric ...

Finite bending and pattern evolution of the associated instability for a dielectric elastomer slab [PDF]
, 2018 We investigate the finite bending and the associated bending instability of an incompressible dielectric slab subject to a combination of applied voltage and axial compression, using nonlinear electro-elasticity theory and its incremental version.

Study on Compliant Actuator of the Knee Joint for Exoskeleton
Jixie chuandong, 2021 The compliance of the joint for exoskeleton is very important in adapting to the wearer's motions and human-machine compatibility. However，the conventional rigid or passive compliant mechanisms cannot achieve the purpose of active compliance due to the ...
