Textiles have emerged as a promising class of materials for developing wearable robots that
move and feel like everyday clothing. Textiles represent a favorable material platform for …

Stem cells and their local microenvironment, or niche, communicate through mechanical
cues to regulate cell fate and cell behaviour and to guide developmental processes. During …

Introduction: The aim of the present work was to perform a meta-analysis evaluating the
impact of recovery techniques on delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), perceived …

The molecular mechanisms underlying the response to exercise and inactivity are not fully
understood. We propose an innovative approach to profile the skeletal muscle transcriptome …

Unaccustomed exercise consisting of eccentric (ie, lengthening) muscle contractions often
results in muscle damage characterized by ultrastructural alterations in muscle tissue …

The notion that prolonged, intense exercise causes an “open window” of immunodepression
during recovery after exercise is well accepted. Repeated exercise bouts or intensified …

Pain reduction is a primary goal of physical therapy for patients who present with acute or
persistent pain conditions. The purpose of this review is to describe a mechanism-based …

While mechanical stimulation is known to regulate a wide range of biological processes at
the cellular and tissue levels, its medical use for tissue regeneration and rehabilitation has …

Moderate pressure massage has contributed to many positive effects including increased
weight gain in preterm infants, reduced pain in different syndromes including fibromyalgia …

Mechanical stimulation (mechanotherapy) can promote skeletal muscle repair, but a lack of
reproducible protocols and mechanistic understanding of the relation between mechanical …
