A new study offers a low-cost, in-office tool to identify athletes at high-risk for ACL injuries. The simplified method combines measuring the tibia and knee motions with standard equipment, strongly correlating with expensive laboratory methods.
A recent study found that while some ACL and knee injury prevention programs may show promise, the current research is limited by design flaws. The authors emphasize the need for high-quality clinical trials to confirm the value of these programs.
Five young Portuguese researchers have been awarded starting grants from the European Research Council to study the processes underlying cell division, ageing and adaptation. Their work has implications for understanding cancer, age-related syndromes and infertility.
