To greatly expand the druggable genome, fast and accurate predictions of cryptic sites for small molecules binding in target proteins are in high demand. In this study, we have developed a fast and simple conformational sampling scheme guided by norm...
This paper introduces a study on the classification of aortic stenosis (AS) based on cardio-mechanical signals collected using non-invasive wearable inertial sensors. Measurements were taken from 21 AS patients and 13 non-AS subjects. A feature analy...
Pneu-net soft actuators, consisting of pneumatic networks of small chambers embedded in elastomeric structures, are particularly promising candidates in the society of soft robotics. However, there are few studies on the analytical modeling of pneu-n...

In order to have research on the deformation characteristics and mechanical properties of human red blood cells (RBCs), finite element models of RBC optical tweezers stretching and atomic force microscope (AFM) indentation were established. Non-linea...
The objective is to study the design method of roadway support and provide technical support for coal mining and other mining methods that need deep roadway excavation. Through literature review, the occurrence, development mechanism and influencing ...
Proteins are the active players in performing essential molecular activities throughout biology, and their dynamics has been broadly demonstrated to relate to their mechanisms. The intrinsic fluctuations have often been used to represent their dynami...
Soft robot fabrication by casting liquid elastomer often requires multiple steps of casting or skillful manual labor. We present a novel soft robotic fabrication technique: negshell casting (negative-space eggshell casting), that reduces the steps re...
The field of self-healing soft robots was initiated a few years ago. A healing ability can be integrated in soft robots by manufacturing their soft membranes out of synthetic self-healing polymers, more specifically elastomeric Diels-Alder (DA) netwo...

Real-time simulation of organs increases comfort and safety for patients during the surgery. Proper generalized decomposition (PGD) is an efficient numerical method with coordinate errors below 1 mm and response time below 0.1 s that can be used for ...
Inspired by the physiological structure of the hand capable of realizing the continuous change in finger stiffness when grasping objects of different masses, a self-locking soft continuum robot with a large variable-stiffness range based on particle ...
