According to Ward, translational research like this is not just a strength of his lab, but of the entire UC San Diego campus.

But what happens to your muscles and tendons to make this possible? Associate Professor Daisuke Takeshita and doctoral student Kazuki Kuriyama from the Department of Life Sciences at the ...

Tendons play a crucial role in our bodies by functioning as a connector that binds muscles to bones, enabling movement. Nonetheless, repeated strain or the normal aging process can result in ...

If you have diabetes and you hurt when you move, it might be due to problems with your tendons. They're cord-like bands that connect your muscles to your bones. The high blood sugar levels that ...
