Diabetes affects millions of people, but what if we could better understand how the body naturally regulates blood sugar? Mark Huising is leading NIH-funded research to study how beta cells in the pancreas work together with neighboring cells that secrete hormones that control insulin secretion.

04.03.2025 18:18 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I always do isometrics after any other training or activity. If you have active tendinopathies, you may want to add 10 second holds of the specific tendons you are targeting in your sport. Doing a 10s isometric for the Achilles before tennis/pickleball would be strongly advised.

Our latest work on dietary supplements on collagen synthesis in people. In this one, Thorben Aussieker gave people a blend of whey protein and hydrolyzed collagen and labelled phenylalanine incorporation into "matrix" from muscle biopsies increased. Thoughts?

We did a fun video synopsis of the study while I was still in Maastricht. Would love to hear any feedback

The bottom line: 10 minutes of low intensity isometrics are as good as high load trading.
BUT, both together are additive.
This suggests that force transfer might be more important for strength than we thought.
π§ͺ new paper alert!
This is a fun one. We worked with a professional rock climber and an app developer to determine whether training designed to improve tendon function improved finger strength.
Let me know if you have questions.
