The influence of smoothness and speed of stand-to-sit movement on joint kinematics, kinetics, and muscle activation patterns.

Background: Stand-to-sit (StandTS) is an important daily activity widely used in rehabilitation settings to improve strength, postural stability, and mobility. Modifications in movement smoothness and speed significantly influence the kinematics, kinetics, and muscle activation patterns of the movement. Understanding the impact of StandTS speed and smoothness on movement control can provide valuable insights for designing effective and personalized rehabilitation training programs.

microRNA 1307 Is a Potential Target for SARS-CoV-2 Infection: An Model.

microRNAs (miRs) are proposed as critical molecular targets in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our recent studies identified seven SARS-CoV-2 specific miR-like sequences, which are highly conserved with humans, including miR-1307-3p, with critical roles in COVID-19. In this current study, Vero cells were infected with SARS-CoV-2, and miR expression profiles were thereafter confirmed by qRT-PCR.
