The Energy of Muscle Contraction. I. Tissue Force and Deformation During Fixed-End Contractions
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 During contraction the energy of muscle tissue increases due to energy from the hydrolysis of ATP. This energy is distributed across the tissue as strain-energy potentials in the contractile elements, strain-energy potential from the 3D deformation of ...

Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing in South Africa: Stumbling Over the First Legal Hurdle?
Potchefstroom Electronic Law Journal, 2022 Despite the growing popularity of direct-to-consumer genetic testing, there is minimal South African literature on the topic. The limited available research suggests that direct-to-consumer genetic testing is unregulated. However, we suggest that direct-
