Muscle and neuronal guidepost-like cells facilitate planarian visual system regeneration
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2020)© 2020 American Association for the Advancement of Science. All rights reserved. Neuronal circuits damaged or lost after injury can be regenerated in some adult organisms, but the mechanisms enabling this process are largely ... -
Muscle Cells Provide Instructions for Planarian Regeneration
(Elsevier B.V., 2013-08)Regeneration requires both potential and instructions for tissue replacement. In planarians, pluripotent stem cells have the potential to produce all new tissue. The identities of the cells that provide regeneration ... -
Muscle functions as a connective tissue and source of extracellular matrix in planarians
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-04)Regeneration and tissue turnover require new cell production and positional information. Planarians are flatworms capable of regenerating all body parts using a population of stem cells called neoblasts. The positional ... -
Muscle synergies evoked by microstimulation are preferentially encoded during behavior
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-03)Electrical microstimulation studies provide some of the most direct evidence for the neural representation of muscle synergies. These synergies, i.e., coordinated activations of groups of muscles, have been proposed as ... -
Muscle synergy patterns as physiological markers of motor cortical damage
(National Academy of Sciences (U.S.), 2012-08)The experimental findings herein reported are aimed at gaining a perspective on the complex neural events that follow lesions of the motor cortical areas. Cortical damage, whether by trauma or stroke, interferes with the ... -
Muscle-fiber array inspired, multiple-mode, pneumatic artificial muscles through planar design and one-step rolling fabrication
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2021)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Advances in development of artificial muscles have enabled creation of soft robots with biological dexterity and self-adaption in unstructured environments; however, ... -
Muscle-like fatigue-resistant hydrogels by mechanical training
(National Academy of Sciences, 2019-05)Skeletal muscles possess the combinational properties of high fatigue resistance (1,000 J/m2), high strength (1 MPa), low Young's modulus (100 kPa), and high water content (70 to 80 wt %), which have not been achieved in ... -
A Muscle-Reflex Model That Encodes Principles of Legged Mechanics Produces Human Walking Dynamics and Muscle Activities
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2010-06)While neuroscientists identify increasingly complex neural circuits that control animal and human gait, biomechanists find that locomotion requires little control if principles of legged mechanics are heeded that shape and ... -
Muscle-Specific SIRT1 Gain-of-Function Increases Slow-Twitch Fibers and Ameliorates Pathophysiology in a Mouse Model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
(Public Library of Science, 2014-07)SIRT1 is a metabolic sensor and regulator in various mammalian tissues and functions to counteract metabolic and age-related diseases. Here we generated and analyzed mice that express SIRT1 at high levels specifically in ... -
MuscleRehab: Improving Unsupervised Physical Rehabilitation by Monitoring and Visualizing Muscle Engagement

The MUSCLES Treasury Survey. IV. Scaling Relations for Ultraviolet, Ca ii K, and Energetic Particle Fluxes from M Dwarfs
(IOP Publishing, 2017-06)Characterizing the UV spectral energy distribution (SED) of an exoplanet host star is critically important for assessing its planet's potential habitability, particularly for M dwarfs, as they are prime targets for current ... -
Musculoskeletal Load Analysis for the Design and Control of a Wearable Robot Bracing the Human Body While Crawling on a Floor

The MUSE Hubble Ultra Deep Field Survey: XVI. The angular momentum of low-mass star-forming galaxies: A cautionary tale and insights from TNG50
(EDP Sciences, 2021)We investigate the specific angular momentum (sAM) j(<r) profiles of intermediate redshift (0.4 < z < 1.4) star-forming galaxies (SFGs) in the relatively unexplored regime of low masses (down to M? ∼ 108 M ) and small ... -

Music Gesture for Visual Sound Separation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-08)Recent deep learning approaches have achieved impressive performance on visual sound separation tasks. However, these approaches are mostly built on appearance and optical flow like motion feature representations, which ... -
Music in Jane Austen's Emma
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-10)Jane Austen played the piano every morning before the rest of the family got up - both for her own pleasure and probably also as an aid to meditation and mental focus. No one has yet fully explored the significance of music ... -
Music Therapy for Gait and Speech Deficits in Parkinson’s Disease: A Mini-Review
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2023-06-25)Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive central nervous system disease with a common motor symptom of gait disturbance in PD, which is more pronounced in the later stages. Although FDA-approved treatments, including ... -
Music-selective neural populations arise without musical training
(American Physiological Society, 2021)<jats:p> We show that music-selective neural populations are clearly present in people without musical training, demonstrating that they are a fundamental and widespread property of the human brain. Additionally, we show ... -
