The electrical stimulation of the primary occipital cortex can evoke luminous perceptions known as phosphenes, forming the basis for cortical visual prostheses for blind individuals. In this study, cortical dynamics during phosphene perception were i...

Subjects with low back pain (LBP) have shown different responses to fatigue compared to healthy individuals. The aim of this study was to analyze and compare the connectivity of the multifidus muscles using intermuscular coherence (IMC) in a squat pr...

This pilot study investigates the relationship between gesture intuitiveness and muscle network efficiency in human–machine interactions (HMIs), emphasizing objective neurophysiological measures. EMG signals from 16 muscles were analyzed to con...

Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has become one of the most advanced and useful innovations that allows the creation of personalized macroscopic and microscopic constructs at different scales that match a patient’s anatomy. Intensive research...

Electrophysiological studies reveal significant organizational and functional differences in the cortex of blind individuals compared to sighted individuals. These differences result from the nervous system’s reorganization to adapt to new sens...

This study investigated performance characteristics and channel selection strategies for single-flicker steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) using minimal recording channels. SSVEP clustering patterns fr...

Hamstring muscle tears are among the most prevalent sports injuries. The occurrence of muscle injuries has been demonstrated to result in alterations to the movement control system, thus prompting the implementation of compensatory strategies. The po...

Generally, cheap and environmentally friendly biosorbent materials attract the attention of researchers and become the focus of research. Cellulose and hemicellulose come to the fore among biosorbent materials in biosorption processes. However, ligni...

Machine learning (ML) robustness for voice disorder detection was evaluated using reverberation-augmented recordings. Common vocal health assessment voice features from steady vowel samples (135 pathological, 49 controls) were used to train/test six...

Chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP) affects a significant percentage of the global population, with therapeutic exercise being a key management strategy. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the clinical Pilates method in 22 patients with...

This study explores the potential of Vigna mungo gum as a sustainable and innovative natural polymer for developing microbeads for the controlled delivery of vildagliptin, a widely used antidiabetic agent. Unlike conventional natural polymers, Vigna ...

The objective of this study was to develop a multicompartmental physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model that allows for the reproduction of the function of the gastrointestinal system in silico. Based on the typical tools of chemical engin...

The 1st International Online Conference on Bioengineering (IOCBE 2024) was held online from 16 to 18 October 2024. With a theme of Bioengineering in a Generative AI World, the conference featured presentations from distinguished scholars at the nexus...

Stress is a multifaceted physiological and psychological response that impacts health in diverse ways. This work introduces an IoT- and ML-based wearable stress detection prototype system for elderly care. The prototype developed utilizes Heart Rate,...

The advent of 3D printing technology has revolutionized various manufacturing sectors, including the medical field, particularly in the production of prosthetic limbs. Traditional prosthetic manufacturing processes are often time-consuming and expens...

This study investigates the effects of substrate bias voltage on the properties of titanium nitride (TiN) and titanium oxynitride (TiON) thin films deposited via High-Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HiPIMS). The structure and morphology of the ob...

Standard 2D cultures inadequately mimic the natural microenvironment of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), compromising their properties. This study investigated the impact of 3D cultures in spheroids, alginate microspheres (AMSs), and blood plasma sc...

Casein is a natural milk protein that has been investigated for various applications. Casein nanofibers are of great interest for tissue engineering. Spinning casein alone has proven difficult due to its unsuitable viscoelasticity and extensive inter...

Postural stability relies on the effective interaction between sensory feedback integration and muscle modulation. This study investigates the dynamics of muscle networks generated during challenging postures and examines the impact of visual feedbac...

Professional dancers are susceptible to lower limb pathologies, particularly in the hip joint, due to biomechanical stress. Multiple factors contribute to this, requiring a particular therapeutic approach to address them. This review aims to document...

The biological treatment of second cheese whey (SCW) was investigated using two different marine cultures, the microalgae Picochlorum costavermella and the cyanobacterium Geitlerinema sp. Seawater from the coastal area of Rio, near Patras, was used f...

Cellulose, the most abundant natural biopolymer, has garnered significant attention for hydrogel development due to its exceptional properties, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, renewability, and mechanical strength. These attributes make...

The rise in antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections is a major global health concern. The search for natural compounds that inhibit the growth of pathogens is becoming urgent. One such compound is mangiferin, a non-toxic polyphenolic compound deriv...

Food contamination with Listeria monocytogenes can cause health problems of increasing global concern. The resistance of L. monocytogenes to antibiotics requires finding alternative solutions to protect human health. This mini study was designed to e...
