Engineers use fluid dynamics simulations to study the effect of exercise at various ages on plaque formation in the arteries. The authors considered two arterial geometries, one with a bulging outer ...

A team of researchers has developed a simple lab-based system for growing human muscle cells that are capable of vigorously contracting. A team of researchers at Tohoku University have developed a ...

The mTOR pathway is activated by exercise training program, and enhances spinogenesis, neuronal activity and axonal myelination. This illustration summarizes major findings of a paper published on ...
