Cell freezing is critical for the long-term preservation of biological materials, but is limited by the cytotoxicity and inefficacy of conventional cryoprotective agents, such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Here, we introduce DNA frameworks (DFs) as a nanoengineered programmable class of cryoprotectants designed to address these challenges. The DFs feature a programmable scaffolded structure offering large flexible wireframe contacts, cellular target ability, and biodegradability.

- Gait modification strategies can effectively reduce knee joint loads linked to osteoarthritis (OA) progression.
- The study investigates the impact of initial foot contact methods, finding that the forefoot strike (FFS) leads to lower knee joint moments during descending tasks compared to the rearfoot strike (RFS).
- These findings suggest that adopting an FFS can help individuals with early OA by decreasing harmful knee joint loads, which could be beneficial for prevention and rehabilitation programs.
The effect of sitting posture on the loads at cervico-thoracic and lumbosacral joints.

Background: The sitting in an awkward posture for a prolonged time may lead to spinal or musculoskeletal disease. It is important to investigate the joint loads at spine while sitting.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the joint moment and antero-posterior (AP) reaction force at cervico-thoracic and lumbosacral joint for various sitting postures.
