Skeletal muscle area (SMA), representing skeletal muscle cross-sectional area at the L3 vertebral level, and skeletal muscle index (SMI), representing height-normalized SMA, can serve as markers of sarcopenia. Normal SMA and SMI values have been rep...
BACKGROUND: Robust and continuous neural decoding is crucial for reliable and intuitive neural-machine interactions. This study developed a novel generic neural network model that can continuously predict finger forces based on decoded populational m...
Biohybrid robots, which comprise soft materials with biological components, have the potential to sense, respond, and adapt to changing environmental loads dynamically. Instead of humans and other living things, biohybrid robots can be used in variou...
Tissue-engineered living machines is an emerging discipline that employs complex interactions between living cells and engineered scaffolds to self-assemble biohybrid systems for diverse scientific research and technological applications. Here, we re...

Spasticity is commonly present in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) and manifests itself as shaky movements, muscle tightness and joint stiffness. Accurate and objective measurement of spasticity is investigated using inertial measurement unit (IM...
Heterochronic blood exchange (HBE) has demonstrated that circulating factors restore youthful features to aged tissues. However, the systemic mediators of those rejuvenating effects remain poorly defined. We show here that the beneficial effect of yo...
BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma is the commonest malignant brain tumour. Sarcopenia is associated with worse cancer survival, but manually quantifying muscle on imaging is time-consuming. We present a deep learning-based system for quantification of tempora...
