Grasp Force Assistance via Throttle-based Wrist Angle Control on a Robotic Hand Orthosis for C6-C7 Spinal Cord Injury [PDF]
Individuals with hand paralysis resulting from C6-C7 spinal cord injuries frequently rely on tenodesis for grasping. However, tenodesis generates limited grasping force and demands constant exertion to maintain a grasp, leading to fatigue and sometimes pain.

Fully automated grey and white matter segmentation of the cervical cord in vivo [PDF]
We propose and validate a new fully automated spinal cord (SC) segmentation technique that incorporates two different multi-atlas segmentation propagation and fusion techniques: Optimized PatchMatch Label fusion (OPAL) and Similarity and Truth Estimation

This study presents a novel portable grasp‐assist glove, weighing only 47 g. The glove integrates smart adhesive pads and a hands‐free control interface based on IMU, designed to aid rheumatic patients with impaired hand function. The system enables switchable adhesion with independent control and detection of user release intent.

Overview of the regulation of intrinsic and extrinsic signals during neurodevelopment. Intrinsic genetic signals from NSCs, in conjunction with cues from microglia and blood vessels, collaboratively regulate the proliferation of NSCs, their fate determination, synaptogenesis, synaptic pruning, neuronal survival, and death, as well as communication ...

Glycolysis‐derived lactate activates nucleus pulposus cell ferroptosis via Histon H3K18la‐mediated ACSL4 transcription and ACSL4 lactylation and aggravate intervertebral disc degeneration. Inhibiting glycolysis via gene silencing or chemical intervention reduces the production of lactate and ameliorates ferroptosis activation and nucleus pulposus ...
