MyoGestic: EMG interfacing framework for decoding multiple spared motor dimensions in individuals with neural lesions

Science Advances, 2025April 9, 2025

The study introduces MyoGestic, a neural interface system that includes a 32-channel monopolar EMG bracelet and an open-source software framework designed for rapid experimentation and adaptation to participant-specific needs. MyoGestic enables the r...

KEY FINDING: The study successfully decoded motor intent in real time from participants with SCI, spinal stroke, and amputations, achieving multiple controllable motor dimensions within minutes.

Human Schwann Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicle Isolation, Bioactivity Assessment, and Omics Characterization

International Journal of Nanomedicine, 2025April 4, 2025

The study establishes a robust framework for SCEV isolation and their comprehensive characterization, which is consistent with their therapeutic potential in neurological applications. This work provides a valuable proteomic, lipidomic, and miRNA dat...

KEY FINDING: The study established a reliable method for isolating SCEVs with consistent molecular profiles.

An engineering-reinforced extracellular vesicle–integrated hydrogel with an ROS-responsive release pattern mitigates spinal cord injury

Sci. Adv., 2025April 2, 2025

This study engineered mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) to enhance their therapeutic efficacy for spinal cord injury (SCI) treatment. The EVs were reinforced with pro-angiogenic, neurotrophic, and anti-inflammatory effects an...

KEY FINDING: The study successfully created a hydrogel that releases EVs in response to ROS, allowing for on-demand regulation of SCI treatment.
