Aurora Scientific

This Halloween, #AuroraScientific wanted to highlight a recent paper from Debriun et al. investigating the impact of versican haploinsufficiency on muscle function in mdx mice. "In dystrophic mdx hindlimb muscles where fibrosis is limited, versican haploinsufficiency transiently improves contractile function without reducing inflammation" Dramatic morphological changes, such as the appearance of "ghost fibers" were present! Just like a ghostly figure, these fibers have lost their functional "life," often seen as faint, empty shells in tissue samples, haunting the muscle landscape where healthy fibers once thrived.

Clocking Gains: How Time of Day Impacts Muscle Contractility after Satellite Cell Loss! Using Aurora Scientific’s #300E Dual-Mode Muscle Lever, Ryan Kahn et al. investigated the relationship between #circadian rhythms and #muscle function, particularly focusing on the role of satellite cells, which are essential for muscle repair and regeneration.

Testing #contractility and force production of pathological #cardiac tissue has been a reliable and well-known measure of the development of cardiomyopathies. This measurement technique has also been used to test therapies which aim to treat cardiomyopathies. However, understanding how #ATPconsumption of pathological tissues changes when therapeutics are present is also valuable. Utilizing the measurement of NADH conversion to NAD+ via our 804A system will give researchers an indication of overall ATP consumption! https://lnkd.in/gc9FfvkQ

Nam et al., is making strides in the #VML community, developing a promising candidate for clinical applications in soft tissue repair. Researchers have developed a hydrogel-based adhesive that offers strong-tissue adhesion, rapid self-healing, and injectability. Using in-vivo and in-vitro studies this material proved to be biocompatible with minimal immune response and #muscleregeneration promotion in animal models. #3in1 #1300A Check it out here! https://lnkd.in/gYP9KSrs

New publication alert! CUTE Devices: Where High-Fidelity Meets High-Fun in Haptic Tech! Sanchez-Tamayo et al. recently published "Cutaneous Electrohydraulic (CUTE) Wearable Devices for Pleasant Broad-Bandwidth Haptic Cues." With Aurora Scientific’s Dual-mode muscle lever (310C-LR), researchers confirmed the device can deliver realistic and highly immersive tactile experiences, paving the way for next-generation haptic feedback technologies.
