Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.MAGTWIST: A compact magnetic rotary actuator, enabling smooth, stepless rotation, and on‐demand locking. Inspired by peristalsis, a soft polymer belt generates a traveling‐wave, enabling 270° rotation when heated. Cooling stiffens the belt, locking it in position and enabling it to withstand high loads.

Eccentric exercise facilitates mesenchymal stem cell appearance in skeletal muscle. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Eccentric, or lengthening, contractions result in injury and subsequently stimulate the activation and proliferation of satellite stem cells which are important for skeletal muscle regeneration.

Effect of Estrogen on Musculoskeletal Performance and Injury Risk. [PDF]
, 2018 Estrogen has a dramatic effect on musculoskeletal function. Beyond the known relationship between estrogen and bone, it directly affects the structure and function of other musculoskeletal tissues such as muscle, tendon, and ligament.

Slowly cycling Rho kinase-dependent actomyosin cross-bridge slippage explains intrinsic high compliance of detrusor smooth muscle [PDF]
, 2017 Biological soft tissues are viscoelastic because they display timeindependent pseudoelasticity and time-dependent viscosity. However, there is evidence that the bladder may also display plasticity, defined as an increase in strain that is unrecoverable ...

Isolated Tibialis Posterior Muscle Strain: A rare sporting injury
International Journal of Sport, Exercise and Health Research, 2020 We present the case of an isolated tibialis posterior muscle strain in an Australian Rules Football (AFL) player, an injury not previously described in the medical literature. The elite footballer presented with calf tightness following a game of AFL.

A pilot study to measure dynamic elasticity of the bladder during urodynamics [PDF]
, 2017 AIMS: Previous studies using isolated strips of human detrusor muscle identified adjustable preload tension, a novel mechanism that acutely regulates detrusor wall tension. The purpose of this investigation was to develop a method to identify a correlate

Novel Functional Materials via 3D Printing by Vat Photopolymerization
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This Perspective systematically analyzes strategies for incorporating functionalities into 3D‐printed materials via Vat Photopolymerization (VP). It explores the spectrum of achievable functionalities in recently reported novel materials—such as conductive, energy‐storing, biodegradable, stimuli‐responsive, self‐healing, shape‐memory, biomaterials, and

C(60) fullerene effect on the functional activity of rat gastrocnemius muscle during its regeneration after the open injury [PDF]
The Ukrainian Biochemical JournalOpen injuries are one of the most common skeletal muscle traumas. The study aimed to estimate the effect of the oral administration of C60 fullerene aqueous solution (C60FAS) daily at a dose of 1 mg/kg on the restoration of rat skeletal muscle functional

Mechanisms of Hamstring Strain Injury: Interactions between Fatigue, Muscle Activation and Function
Sports, 2020 Isolated injury to the long head of biceps femoris is the most common type of acute hamstring strain injury (HSI). However, the precise hamstring injury mechanism (i.e., sprint-type) is still not well understood, and research is inconclusive as to which ...
