Predicting Muscle Thickness Deformation from Muscle Activation Patterns: A Dual-Attention Framework [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Understanding the relationship between muscle activation and thickness deformation is critical for diagnosing muscle-related diseases and monitoring muscle health. Although ultrasound technique can measure muscle thickness change during muscle movement, its application in portable devices is limited by wiring and data collection challenges.

Thermal Processing Creates Water‐Stable PEDOT:PSS Films for Bioelectronics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 13, April 2, 2025.
Instead of using chemical cross–linkers, it is shown that PEDOT:PSS thin films for bioelectronics become water‐stable after a simple heat treatment. The heat treatment is compatible with a range of rigid and elastomeric substrates and films are stable in vivo for >20 days.

Regulation of PDGFRα+ cells and ICC in progesterone-mediated slow colon transit in pregnant mice

open access: yesHeliyon
Background: Progesterone can inhibit intestinal smooth muscle contraction; however, the specific mechanism remains unclear. Besides smooth muscle cells, smooth muscle has two important mesenchymal cells, namely interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) and ...

Patterned Structure Muscle : Arbitrary Shaped Wire-driven Artificial Muscle Utilizing Anisotropic Flexible Structure for Musculoskeletal Robots [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Muscles of the human body are composed of tiny actuators made up of myosin and actin filaments. They can exert force in various shapes such as curved or flat, under contact forces and deformations from the environment. On the other hand, muscles in musculoskeletal robots so far have faced challenges in generating force in such shapes and environments ...

Cardiac Organoid Model Inspired Micro‐Robot Smart Patch to Treat Myocardial Infarction

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The heart organoid model exhibits the acidic microenvironment characteristic of myocardial infarction, which emerges as a pivotal force propelling the movement of micro‐robots. These micro‐robots, administered through microneedles, can penetrate deep into the tissue, effectively delivering therapeutic payloads to facilitate heart repair.
