Article Synopsis
  • Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a growing public health concern, and studying metabolic and immune profiles may help identify new markers related to its development.* -
  • This study monitored 61 pregnant women across two trimesters, measuring various metabolic and immunological parameters in those with GDM, elevated glucose, and healthy controls.* -
  • Findings revealed differences in T lymphocyte profiles and fatty acid levels between groups, suggesting potential avenues for further research into GDM mechanisms.*

Brain injury is the leading cause of long-term disability worldwide, often resulting in impaired hand function. Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) offer a potential way to improve hand function. BMIs often target replacing lost function, but may also be employed in neurorehabilitation (nrBMI) by facilitating neural plasticity and functional recovery.

Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) translate brain signals into control signals for an external device, such as a computer cursor or robotic limb. These signals can be obtained either noninvasively or invasively. Invasive recordings, using electrocorticography (ECoG) or intracortical microelectrodes, provide higher bandwidth and more informative signals.
