Article Synopsis
- Scientists are exploring how piezoelectric nanomaterials and ultrasound can help repair tissues, and they found it might work well for creating cartilage.
- In their study, they used special tiny particles mixed in a gel and applied exact ultrasound settings, which helped certain cells turn into cartilage cells even better.
- They also created a model to predict how electricity from the ultrasound affects the materials at a tiny level, and the gel they used was safe and stuck well to cartilage, showing promise for future tests.
Recent years have witnessed relevant advancements in the quality of life of persons with lower limb amputations thanks to the technological developments in prosthetics. However, prostheses that provide information about the foot-ground interaction, and in particular about terrain irregularities, are still missing on the market. The lack of tactile feedback from the foot sole might lead subjects to step on uneven terrains, causing an increase in the risk of falling.

Specific respiratory features are unique markers of the deterioration of a health condition, the onset of a disease, fatigue and stressful circumstances. The early and reliable prediction of high-risk situations can result in the implementation of appropriate intervention strategies that might be lifesaving.
