The challenges associated with prolonged healing or non-healing of chronic diabetic wounds contribute significantly to the increased incidence of lower limb amputation. A pivotal factor in the impediment of healing is the reduced production of endogenous nitric oxide (NO) due to the hyperglycemic microenvironment typical of chronic diabetes. While both endogenous and exogenous NO have been shown to promote the healing process of diabetic wounds, the direct application of NO in wound management is limited due to its gaseous nature and the risk of explosive release.

The development of silk fibroin-based hydrogels with excellent biocompatibility, aqueous processability, and facile controllability in structure is indeed an exciting advancement for biological research and strain sensor applications. However, silk fibroin-based hydrogel strain sensors that combine high conductivity, high stretchability, reusability, and high selectivity are still desired. Herein, we report a simple method for preparing double-network hydrogels including silk fibroin and poly(acrylic acid) sodium-polyacrylate (PAA-PAAS) networks.

Restoration of independent walking ability is the primary objective of stroke rehabilitation; however, not all patients achieve this goal due to diverse impairments in the paretic lower limb and compensatory mechanisms that lead to an asymmetrical and mechanically inefficient gait. This investigation aimed to examine alterations in cortical activation in post-stroke patients while walking with a wearable two-channel functional electrical stimulation (FES) in comparison to walking without FES. This observational study was conducted to discern distinct activation patterns in 19 stroke patients during sessions with and without FES, while using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to monitor changes in blood oxygen levels.

Despite its importance, little is known about how DTL cells form during kidney development. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) studies have not definitively identified DTL cells in the developing mouse kidney.
