Routing Optimization of Cable‐Driven Octopus‐Inspired Manipulators With Minimal Actuation via Genetic Algorithm and Finite Element Method

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Soft robotic arms are promising for gentle grasping but often rely on bulky actuation systems. This work presents a computational design framework that optimizes tendon number and routing to achieve target grasps with fewer actuators. Validated on an octopus‐inspired underwater arm, the approach enables efficient, underactuated soft manipulators for ...

Sterol regulation of scavenger receptor class B type I in macrophages

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) is expressed in macrophages, but its role in sterol trafficking in these cells remains controversial. We examined the effect of sterol loading on SR-BI expression in human monocytes/macrophages, mouse peritoneal ...

Injectable Bone Cements: A Generational Framework for Bioactivity, Porosity, and Mechanobiological Design at the Nanoscale

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Key demographic, biological, and material considerations that drive the need for advanced injectable bone cement technologies. Injectable bone cements (IBCs) are widely used in orthopaedic and craniofacial applications due to their minimally invasive delivery and ability to provide early mechanical stabilisation.

Evolution of the resistivity anisotropy in Bi_{2}Sr_{2-x}La_{x}CuO_{6+\delta} single crystals for a wide range of hole doping

, 2002
To elucidate how the temperature dependence of the resistivity anisotropy of the cuprate superconductors changes with hole doping, both the in-plane and the out-of-plane resistivities (\rho_{ab} and \rho_{c}) are measured in a series of high-quality Bi_ ...

Protein markers of dysfunctional HDL in scavenger receptor class B type I deficient mice

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2018
Background Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) plays a key role in high density lipoproteins (HDL) metabolism. SR-BI deficiency in mice results in enhanced susceptibility to atherosclerosis with abnormal large, cholesterol enriched, and functional ...

Dimerization of the scavenger receptor class B type I

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
This study has examined the dimeric/oligomeric forms of scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) and its alternatively spliced form, SR-BII, in a diverse group of cells and tissues: i.e., normal and hormonally altered tissues of mice and rats as well as

The HDL receptor SR-BI: a new therapeutic target for atherosclerosis?

Molecular Medicine Today, 1999
Although high-density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism is a crucial process for cholesterol homeostasis and coronary heart disease, therapeutic approaches for selective modification of plasma HDL levels are not currently available. The discovery of well-defined cell-surface HDL receptors should provide new avenues for treatment of atherosclerotic ...

Aspects of hepatic lipase expression : relation to cholesterol homeostasis [PDF]

, 2003
Hepatic lipase has triacylglycerol hydrolase and phospholipase A1 activity towards a wide variety of substrates. It is extracellularly localized in liver and in steroid hormone producing organs.
