Evaluation of antigravitational support levels provided by a passive upper-limb occupational exoskeleton in repetitive arm movements

Upper-limb occupational exoskeletons to support the workers' upper arms are typically designed to provide antigravitational support. Although typical work activities require workers to perform static and dynamic actions, the majority of the studies in lite ...

Inhibition of CERS1 in skeletal muscle exacerbates age-related muscle dysfunction

Johan Auwerx, Olivier Burri, Xiaoxu Li, Tanes Imamura de Lima, Giacomo Vincenzo Giorgio Von Alvensleben, Martin Rainer Wohlwend, Pirkka-Pekka Untamo Laurila, Ludger Jan Elzuë Goeminne, Barbara Moreira Crisol, Amélia Lalou, Renata Mangione

Age-related muscle wasting and dysfunction render the elderly population vulnerable and incapacitated, while underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we implicate the CERS1 enzyme of the de novo sphingolipid synthesis pathway in the pathogenesis ...

Inkjet printed dielectric elastomer actuators for facial reconstruction

The LAI-CAM lab is investigating dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) as artificial muscles for facial reconstruction. As a matter of fact, DEA and muscles both share a linear relation between applied current and elongation although muscles contract under ...

Trans-anethole Induces Thermogenesis via Activating SERCA/SLN Axis in C2C12 Muscle Cells

Sulagna Mukherjee

Recently, adaptive non-shivering thermogenesis has attracted considerable attention because it can elevate energy expenditure and help treat obesity. Despite the numerous reports related to UCP1-driven thermogenesis, little is known regarding UCP1-independ ...

A Tead1-Apelin axis directs paracrine communication from myogenic to endothelial cells in skeletal muscle

Bart Deplancke, Julie Marie Russeil, Sonia Karaz, Maria Deak, Umji Lee, Benjamin D. Cosgrove

Apelin (Apln) is a myokine that regulates skeletal muscle plasticity and meta-bolism and declines during aging. Through a yeast one-hybrid transcription factor binding screen, we identified the TEA domain transcription factor 1 (Tead1) as a novel regulator ...

Products and methods for promoting myogenesis

Johan Auwerx, Martin Rainer Wohlwend

The present invention relates generally to the field of long non-coding RNAs and transcription factors and modulation of their expression for use in medicine and agriculture, such as the treatment and prevention of diseases associated with muscle atrophy a ...

Personal Mobility with Synchronous Trunk-Knee Passive Exoskeleton: Optimizing Human-Robot Energy Transfer

Diego Felipe Paez Granados, Yang Chen

We present a personal mobility device for lower- body impaired users through a light-weighted exoskeleton on wheels. On its core, a novel passive exoskeleton provides postural transition leveraging natural body postures with support to the trunk on sit-to- ...

Wearable High-Density MXene-Bioelectronics for Neuromuscular Diagnostics, Rehabilitation, and Assistive Technologies

Silvestro Micera, Francesco Iberite, Eugenio Anselmino

High-density surface electromyography (HDsEMG) allows noninvasive muscle monitoring and disease diagnosis. Clinical translation of current HDsEMG technologies is hampered by cost, limited scalability, low usability, and minimal spatial coverage. Here, this ...

Investigation of physiological roles of AMPK-activated protein kinase y3

Philipp Jurijvic Rhein

Clinical trials have shown that direct activators of an evolutionary-conserved metabolic sensor, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), are beneficial in preventing/treating a range of metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes. These activators, includi ...

Metabolic rescue of muscle and muscle stem cells in muscle disease

Peiling Luan

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), caused by the mutation of dystrophin gene, is an X-linked disorder that affects 1 in 3500 males, leading to progressive muscle degeneration and eventually resulting in premature death. Increasing evidence indicates that D ...
