Unveiling the role of melatonin‐related gene CSNK1D in osteoclastogenesis and its implications for osteoporosis treatment

Experimental Physiology
Osteoporosis (OP) is a prevalent bone disease characterized by reduced bone density and quality, increasing fragility and fracture risk. Osteoclast (OC) activity and circadian rhythm play a role in the pathogenesis of OP.

Using stiffness to assess injury risk:comparison of methods for quantifying stiffness and their reliability in triathletes [PDF]

, 2018
Background: A review of the literature has indicated that lower body stiffness, defined as the extent to which the lower extremity joints resists deformation upon contact with the ground, may be a useful measure for assessing Achilles injury risk in ...
