          Could Alzheimer’s Begin in the Nerves, Not the Brain?

          Researchers using "human-on-a-chip" technology have found that Alzheimer's-related movement issues may start in the peripheral nerves, rather than the brain, offering a new path for early diagnosis.

          Hidden Primed Step in Nerve-Muscle Communication Found

          An international research team has mapped the millisecond-by-millisecond process by which nerve signals activate muscles, uncovering a previously unseen “primed” intermediate step. This breakthrough reveals that neuromuscular receptors move asynchronously—not in perfect unison as scientists long believed—redefining how communication between nerves and muscles is understood.

          Why strength training might come at the expense of endurance muscles

          Strength training may negatively impact endurance muscles. BDNF, which is increased during strength training and helps strength muscles to develop, decreases endurance muscle fibers.
