RNA‐binding motif protein 3 (RBM3), an outstanding cold shock protein, is rapidly
upregulated to ensure homeostasis and survival in a cold environment, which is an …

Massage is anecdotally associated with many health benefits, but physiological and
clinically relevant mechanisms recently have begun to be investigated in a controlled …

Robot-actuated mechanical loading (ML)–based therapies (“mechanotherapies”) can
promote regeneration after severe skeletal muscle injury, but the effectiveness of such …

With the increasing burden of a globally aging population, low back pain has become one of
the most common musculoskeletal disorders, caused mainly by intervertebral disc (IVD) …

Aim Interventions that decrease atrophy during disuse are desperately needed to maintain
muscle mass. We recently found that massage as a mechanotherapy can improve muscle …

Correlation between objects is prone to occur coincidentally, and exploring correlation or
association in most situations does not answer scientific questions rich in causality. Causal …

Aging is accompanied by reduced remodeling of skeletal muscle extracellular matrix (ECM),
which is exacerbated during recovery following periods of disuse atrophy. Mechanotherapy …

The inability to fully recover lost muscle mass following periods of disuse atrophy
predisposes older adults to lost independence and poor quality of life. We have previously …

Massage is a viable mechanotherapy to improve protein turnover during disuse atrophy and
improve muscle regrowth during recovery from disuse atrophy in adult muscle. Therefore …

Many patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries have persistent quadriceps
muscle atrophy, even after considerable time in rehabilitation. Understanding the factors that …
