Highly anisotropic carbon fiber electrodes for DEAs and their dynamic non-monotonic conductive properties
Yves Perriard, Stefania Maria Aliki Konstantinidi, Markus Koenigsdorff
A common method for creating compliant electrodes for dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) and soft sensors is to incorporate electrically conductive carbon particles into a polymer matrix. However, using unidirectional aligned carbon fibers instead not o ...
Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE)2024Novel Design and Implementation of a Neuromuscular Controller on a Hip Exoskeleton for Partial Gait Assistance
Auke Ijspeert, Mohamed Bouri, Ali Reza Manzoori, Andrea Di Russo, Sara Messara
Exoskeletons intended for partial assistance of walking should be able to follow the gait pattern of their users, via online adaptive control strategies rather than imposing predefined kinetic or kinematic profiles. NeuroMuscular Controllers (NMCs) are ada ...
2023Increased Gray Matter Density in the Right Mesencephalic Tegmentum Is Associated With Better Engel Classes I and II After Radiosurgery for Hypothalamic Hamartomas
BACKGROUND:Hypothalamic hamartomas (HHs) are disabling congenital lesions, responsible for gelastic seizures frequently associated with catastrophic epilepsies, epileptogenic encephalopathy, and cognitive and psychiatric severe comorbidities. Stereotactic ...
LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS2022Soft cancer cells squeeze through T cell's grip
Li Tang, Armand Kurum, Yi Wang
Immune cells are exquisitely sensitive to the mechanical properties of cancer cells. Soft cancer cells can avoid immune-mediated destruction. Therapeutically targeting this mechanical immune checkpoint may enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. ...
ELSEVIER2022Astrocyte-targeting RNA interference against mutated superoxide dismutase 1 induces motoneuron plasticity and protects fast-fatigable motor units in a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Nathalie Marie Géraldine Bernard, Cylia Cloé Rochat
In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) caused by SOD1 gene mutations, both cell-autonomous and noncell-autonomous mechanisms lead to the selective degeneration of motoneurons (MN). Here, we evaluate the therapeutic potential of gene therapy targeting mutat ...
WILEY2022An Empirical and Subjective Model of Upper Extremity Fatigue Under Hypogravity
Volker Gass, Claude Nicollier, Tatiana Maillard
In the context of extra-terrestrial missions, the effects of hypogravity (0 < G < 1) on the human body can reduce the well-being of the crew, cause musculoskeletal problems and affect their ability to perform tasks, especially during long-term missions. To ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022Smart Armband with Graphene Textile Electrodes for EMG-based Muscle Fatigue Monitoring
We report the successful acquisition of surface electromyography (sEMG) signals from an intelligent armband and its application in localized muscle fatigue monitoring with a costume-designed, small-scale front-end readout circuitry. The correlation coeffic ...
IEEE2021Cell Type-Specific Membrane Potential Changes in Dorsolateral Striatum Accompanying Reward-Based Sensorimotor Learning
Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Tanya C Sippy
The striatum integrates sensorimotor and motivational signals, likely playing a key role in reward-based learning of goal-directed behavior. However, cell type-specific mechanisms underlying reinforcement learning remain to be precisely determined. Here, w ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS2021Exploring the potency of normal and pathological human thymic epithelial cells
Tiphaine Mélodie Chantal Arlabosse
Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) are organised in a unique 3D network that is critical for the development of efficient and self-tolerant T-cells. We report for the first time that the human thymus of all ages, even old and involuted, contains a significant ...
EPFL2017Muscle synergies and spinal maps are sensitive to the asymmetry induced by a unilateral stroke
Silvestro Micera, Martina Coscia
Background: Previous studies have shown that a cerebrovascular accident disrupts the coordinated control of leg muscles during locomotion inducing asymmetric gait patterns. However, the ability of muscle synergies and spinal maps to reflect the redistribut ...
