In order to reduce the friction between the wire rope and the phalanges, three guide pulleys are fitted up on the middle finger bone, the proximal finger bone and the metacarpal bone. The fingers are naturally straight in this structure when there is no driving force from the wire rope. ...
(ROS) production in cells is involved with normal function in cell signalling, excessive ROS build-up results in oxidative stress, leading to cellular damage [17,18]. Most ROS result from mitochondrial metabolism [19], and an imbalance between ROS generation and endogenous antioxidants can induce...
