Out now in @RSocPublishing!😍
@Luca_L_Ruggiero @AlbertoMinetti @GasparePavei. Most times we walk, we do it for short bouts. At what metabolic cost? More than we expected.

A countermeasure for spaceflight deconditioning? Why not wear it like a pair of trousers!🚀
Great science on soft robotics and locomotion in hypogravity from @EmanuelePulvi, @v_natalucci and the Bristol and LOOP teams. Congrats!
🚀 Our work on the Resistive Hypogravity Exosuit (R-HEXsuit) is now out in Advacned Science @AdvPortfolio. A soft robotic suit restoring Earth-like loading in hypogravity, with impact for space health & rehab on Earth. Open access:

Super happy and honored!🥳😍Thanks to @J_exp_biol for the award and to @CNBiomechanics for the AMAZING meeting in Helsinki!
Congratulations to Francesco Luciano @FLucMed, winner of the Journal of Experimental Biology Early Career Researcher Award at CNB 2025 for his talk, Why on Earth don’t humans gallop? Francesco received the award from JEB Editor Monica Daley and Jonas Rubenson

This is a HUGE project, and I'm incredibly grateful to @ritpau for bringing me on board! 🙌 We’re working to boost transparency, collaboration, and reproducibility in ultrasound imaging. 🔍
Check out the website & preprint! 👇

Do you use ultrasound imaging to look at muscle architecture changes during movement?
Then UltraTimTrack is for you! We leveraged the benefits of its predecessors, UltraTrack+TimTrack, to enable automatic, objective, and accurate fascicle tracking - peerj.com/articles/cs-2636/ 💪🦵🦶

🚨 Happy to share the first paper of @BizetB_Biomech
If you are interested in facile tracking, this article is for you.
👉 We prepared a semi-automatic tracking script able to extrapolate fascicle length taking into account the curvature

🚨 Exciting news to start 2025!
What if we’ve been measuring fascicle length wrong all along? 🤔
My first article is now published in @JBiomech:
📄 "Accounting for fascicle curvature affects muscle architecture characterization in dynamic conditions

Human skeletal muscle possesses an epigenetic memory of HIIT @AJPCellPhysEIC
Thrilled to share this great work with my friend @dcturner93
It has been an exciting journey together with an amazing team (@RaffaeleM28) led by @PorcelliSimone @DrAdamPSharples

In our new Nature publication, we present a deep learning-based, task-agnostic exoskeleton controller evaluated on over 30 human activities – a major effort towards real-world viability of exoskeletons.

Introducing - drumroll, please - BIOMECH-OMICS! As a biomechanical researcher, I sometimes forget that most people aren't! I am starting this comic series to share the world of Biomechanics with those who don't live in it daily (and those who do)!

New paper out! 🚨 We show that vampire bats use amino acids from a recent blood meal to fuel RUNNING - a rare mode of locomotion in bats ideal for stalking prey. I’d worry less about your neck and more about your ankles! 🧛🏻♂️ @WelchLab_UTSC @RSocPublishing
