Introduction: Individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) often walk with a less dynamic vertical ground reaction force (vGRF), exemplified by a reduced first peak vGRF and elevated midstance vGRF compared to uninjured controls. However, the mechanism by which altered limb loading affects actual tibial plateau contact forces during walking remains unclear.
Methods: Our purpose was to use musculoskeletal simulation to evaluate the effects of first peak vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) biofeedback on bilateral tibiofemoral contact forces relevant to the development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (OA) in 20 individuals with ACLR.

In this study we used an ex model to assess the effect of feeding older (50 - 70 y) adults a casein protein hydrolysate (CPH) compared with non-bioactive non-essential amino acid (NEAA) supplement on muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and markers of muscle protein breakdown (MPB). As a secondary objective, to assess any attenuation with aging, we compared the anabolic response to CPH-fed serum from older and young adults. Serum from seven healthy older and seven young men following overnight fast and 60 min postprandial ingestion of CPH or NEAA (0.

Introduction: Fibromyalgia is a common pain disorder with features of widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, disrupted sleep, cognitive dysfunction, autonomic dysfunction, and mood disorders. Despite its high prevalence and significant impact on quality of life, the diagnosis and management of fibromyalgia remain challenging. Advancements in classification and diagnostics in broad areas have improved our understanding and treatment approach for this condition.

Background: Ewing's sarcoma (EwS), a common pediatric bone cancer, is associated with poor survival due to a lack of therapeutic targets for immunotherapy or targeted therapy. Therefore, more effective treatment options are urgently needed.
Methods: Since novel immunotherapies may address this need, we performed an integrative analysis involving single-cell RNA sequencing, cell function experiments, and humanized models to dissect the immunoregulatory interactions in EwS and identify strategies for optimizing immunotherapeutic efficacy.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) plays a crucial role in facilitating electron transport during oxidative phosphorylation, thus contributing to cellular energy production. Statin treatment causes a decrease in CoQ10 levels in muscle tissue as well as in serum, which may contribute to the musculoskeletal side effects. Therefore, we aimed to assess the effect of newly initiated statin treatment on serum CoQ10 levels after acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and the correlation of CoQ10 levels with key biomarkers of subclinical or clinically overt myopathy.
