Wet-resistant flexible electronics have acquired increasing attention on applications in wet environments,such as sweaty skin, rainy weather, biological fluids, and underwater. However, it remains challenging to achie...
Clinical studies have found that patients withcervical degenerative disease are usually accompanied by dizziness.Anterior cervical surgery can eliminate not only chronic neck pain,cervical radiculopathy or myelopathy,...
t Touch sensation is critical for our social and environmental interactions. In mammals, most discriminative light touch sensation is mediated by the Aβ low-threshold mechanoreceptors. Cell bodies of Aβ low-threshol...

Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons from newborn Wistar rats cultured in vitro were pressurized with 20, 40, 80 or 120 mm Hg compressive Ioadings (1 mm Hg = 0.133 kPa) for 12, 24, 48 or 72 hours, respectively. The ...
It has been pointed out that most of the acupuncture points described in traditional Chinese medicine are located at the terminations of nerve branches where there are often abundant deep tissues underneath. A previou...
