Changes in joint, muscle, and tendon stiffness following repeated hopping exercise
Physiological Reports, 2019 The purpose of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms of decline in joint stiffness after repeated stretch‐shortening cycle exercises according to changes in both muscle‐tendon properties and neuromuscular activities.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.DNA strands are employed both as dynamic linkers and nanoscale templates for the integration of Ag2S nanoparticles on MoS2, which in turn imparted photothermal responsiveness; this feature permits the selective cargo (fluorophore, quantum dots or an enzyme) release from the MoS2 surface in response to local heat induced by light irradiation.

Impaired H-Reflex Adaptations Following Slope Walking in Individuals With Post-stroke Hemiparesis [PDF]
, 2019 Background and Purpose: Short term adaptations in the Ia afferent-motoneuron pathway, as measured using the H-reflex, in response to altered ground reaction forces (GRFs) applied at the feet during slope walking have been observed in the non-impaired ...

Learning ballet technique modulates the stretch reflex in students with cerebral palsy: case series
BMC NeuroscienceBackground Cerebral palsy (CP) is considered the most prevalent developmental motor disorder in children. There is a need for training programs that enhance motor abilities and normalize function from an early age.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.By tuning the pore size of mesoporous N‐doped carbon (MPNC) nanospheres as support material for molybdenum sulfide, the electrochemical activity of the composite material for the hydrogen evolution reaction can be optimized. An ideal MPNC pore size of 60 nm allows a high number of molybdenum sulfide active sites while maintaining efficient proton and ...

How Spinal Neural Networks Reduce Discrepancies between Motor Intention and Motor Realization [PDF]
, 1991 This paper attempts a rational, step-by-step reconstruction of many aspects of the mammalian neural circuitry known to be involved in the spinal cord's regulation of opposing muscles acting on skeletal segments.

Stretch reflexes in human masseter. [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 1994 The reflex response to stretch in most contracting human muscles includes both a short‐latency, probably monosynaptic, excitatory component, and a longer‐latency, polysynaptic excitation. However, it has been claimed that stretch of the jaw‐closing muscles evokes only the short‐latency response in masseter.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Engineering living matter has great clinical potential to deliver functional replacement organs. However, clinical translation remains hampered by the current inability to maintain viability of clinically relevant‐sized constructs. During the pre‐vascular phase, implants rely on nutrient diffusion for survival, which is insufficient at ...

National Rugby League athletes and tendon tap reflex assessment: A matched cohort clinical study [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Limited research suggests elite athletes may differ from non-athletes in clinical tendon tap reflex responses. METHODS: In this matched cohort study, 25 elite rugby league athletes were compared with 29 non-athletes to examine differences in ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A robust zinc‐based metal–organic framework (ZnMOF) enables dual functions of doxorubicin delivery and sustained Zn2+ release to trigger ferroptosis‐enhnaced chemotherapy. DOX@ZnMOF effectively depletes intracellular glutathione, suppresses GPX4, and elevates reactive oxygen species, leading to efficient oxidative DNA damage and apoptosis.
