Research.
Every peer-reviewed study on fascia in one place — graded for strength of evidence, summarised in plain language for clinicians, researchers, and curious readers.
We grade studies from A to 1A+++ using the Fascia Research Database rubric — 1A+++ is the strongest.
Researchers behind the studiesLayers of interstitial fluid flow along a "slit-shaped" vascular adventitia
In this animal study on rabbits, researchers investigated how interstitial fluid, the fluid between cells, moves along the outermost layer of blood vessels. Using imaging techniques like MRI and fluorescent dyes, the sc…
Binding of Androgen- and Estrogen-Like Flavonoids to Their Cognate (Non)Nuclear Receptors: A Comparison by Computational Prediction
This computational study investigated how six common flavonoids found in fruits and vegetables bind to the body's estrogen and androgen hormone receptors. Using advanced docking simulations, researchers found that subst…
The Effects of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation on the Symptoms and the Duodenal Neurogenin 3, Musashi 1, and Enteroendocrine Cells in Patients With Diarrhea-Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome
This clinical study investigated how fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) affects patients with diarrhea-predominant IBS (IBS-D). Researchers analyzed duodenal biopsies to observe changes in stem cells and hormone-pro…
Fascia The Universal Singularity Of Biotensegrity The Dark Matter Of Our Inner Cosmos
This theoretical paper argues that fascia is the body's fundamental and unifying system, analogous to dark matter in the cosmos. The author suggests this continuity is evident from embryology, where the body develops as…
Low-intensity vibration restores nuclear YAP levels and acute YAP nuclear shuttling in mesenchymal stem cells subjected to simulated microgravity
Astronauts lose bone and muscle in space, partly because their cells become less responsive to mechanical forces. This study investigated if low-intensity vibration (LIV) could help counteract this effect in a lab setti…
Neuroanatomy, Cranial Nerve 11 (Accessory)
This review article describes the anatomy and function of the 11th cranial nerve, the accessory nerve. This nerve is essential for neck and shoulder movement, controlling key muscles like the trapezius and sternocleidom…
Biotensegrity: What is the big deal?
Details for this entry have not yet been summarized. The title, "Biotensegrity: What is the big deal?", suggests it is an explanatory or editorial piece about the concept of biotensegrity. Biotensegrity is a model that…
Structural remodelling of the lumbar multifidus, thoracolumbar fascia and lateral abdominal wall perimuscular connective tissues: A cross-sectional and comparative ultrasound study
Researchers used ultrasound to compare soft tissues in the lower back and abdomen of people with and without non-acute low back pain (LBP). They measured the multifidus muscle, the thoracolumbar fascia, and the connecti…
Om vikten av att stärka immunförsvaret under covid-19
This memo summarizes the state of knowledge on strengthening the immune system in the elderly to better manage COVID-19. The authors focus on findings that highlight the importance of maintaining adequate levels of spec…
Optimal Nutritional Status for a Well-Functioning Immune System Is an Important Factor to Protect against Viral Infections
In this review, the authors state that optimal nutritional status is crucial for a well-functioning immune system and protection against viral infections. They highlight that many vitamins (A, B6, B12, C, D, E, folate),…
Movement Caused by Electrical Stimulation of the Lumbosacral Region in Standing Horses
This study investigated how electrical stimulation (ES) affects movement in the lower back and pelvis of standing horses compared to manual techniques. While both methods successfully triggered movement in the lumbosacr…
Higher Circulating Cortisol in the Follicular vs. Luteal Phase of the Menstrual Cycle: A Meta-Analysis
This meta-analysis investigated how levels of the stress hormone cortisol vary across the menstrual cycle in healthy women. By synthesizing data from multiple high-quality studies, researchers found that cortisol levels…
